A System for Storing and Reusing Data Sets from Sensor Networks

Abstract

Advances in microelectronics and communication technology have provoked a significant increase in computing devices equipped with sensors and communication capabilities. This has led to an increasing interest in software applications that can detect events from sensor readings and react to these events, such as automated home care and smart environments. Developing such applications presents a number of difficulties, and a good source of sensor data is key to succesfully test and compare results. In this thesis we analyze how sensor data can be reused in a general way and aim to design and implement a solution that can store and reuse sensor data for a variety of sensor types and applications. The results show that the implemented application provides a useful working tool to reuse and share sensor data sets.
