Abstract:
Several applications require for a distributed measurement system able to measure the same or different parameters at different points in a wide area. Distributed systems based on smart web sensors represent the best solution to many different measurement problems. One of the main disadvantages of monitoring systems based on smart Web sensors is the difficulty to have a complete access to all data because they present a closed approach to interact with them, while Web Services are adopted in order to give a standard approach in developing a Service Oriented Architecture. In this paper the authors present an implementation of a Plug-n-Play wireless sensor network based on Web service and adopting open source software and low cost hardware architecture. The sensor network is presented a framework of hierarchical distributed system for metrological application of monitoring. Measurement results are made available as Web services so that all users can build up their own applications. The particular metrological application chosen to show some preliminary results of distributed monitoring network is the monitoring of forest fire. This solution offers great possibility in terms of fast and easy access to measured data, of integration of large complex Web sensor network, of realization of flexible custom applications and of service reusability developing new measurement application starting with different information also coming from different sensors.
