Abstract: In this work we present a platform-agnostic framework for intergrating heterogeneous Smart Objects in the Web of Things. Our framework, consists of 4 different hardware platforms, Arduino, SunSPOT, TelosB, iSense. These hardware platforms are the most representative ones, as used by the relevant research community. A first contribution of our work is a careful description of the necessary steps to make such a heterogeneous network interoperate and the implementation of a network stack, in the form of a software library, named mkSense, which enables their intercommunication. Moreover, we describe the design and implementation of software library which can be used for building “intelligent software” for the Web of Things.
Abstract: In this work, we expanded the Arduino's
capabilities by adding an 802.15.4 wireless module, in order to
expose its functionality as a Web of Things node. The second
contribution of our work is a careful description of the necessary
steps to make a heterogeneous network interoperate and the
implementation of a network stack for the 4 most representative
hardware platforms, as used by the relevant research community
(Arduino, SunSPOT, TelosB, iSense), in the form of a software
library, named mkSense, which enables their
intercommunication. Moreover, we describe the design and
implementation of a software library which can be used for
building “intelligent software” for the Web of Things.
Abstract: In this technical report we present a throughput performance analysis on a heterogeneous wire-
less sensor network which consists of 4 dierent sensor devices (TelosB, SunSPOT, Arduino,
iSense) and the results of a set of experiments during which we gathered LQI/RSSI measure-
ments.
