Uma metodologia para a integração de redes de sensores sem fio e computação em nuvem

Abstract

The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of numerous networking devices denominated sensor nodes that are capable of sensing, processing and data storage, but their computational resources such as memory and energy are limited. Cloud Computing provides a flexible environment that allows the storage and processing of large amounts of data, with the cost based on usage. Due to use of WSNs in basically everywhere, it became necessary to overcome the limitations found in these networks. Thus, based on the promising features of Cloud Computing, and then became feasible to integrate these two technologies in order to meet the needs of WSNs. Thus, this present work presents a methodology for integrating WSNs and Cloud Computing to show how the unique characteristics of each of these two technologies can be best utilized.
