Sharing sensor networks

Many industrial applications rely on sensors and sensor networks residing on machinery, transport containers or in the environment. For distributed processes in such domains the sharing of those sensor networks is crucial. This paper introduces a peer-topeer (P2P) architecture for sharing services provided by existing sensor networks with any Internet based application. The differences between the sensor are abstracted using a service-oriented approach. The proposed technology is able to build up a global sensor Internet across multiple domain boundaries. Our implementation is evaluated with 300+ sensor nodes organized in a P2P network across continents.
