ABSTRACT:
In this paper we describe TinyLime, a novel middleware for wireless sensor networks
that departs from the traditional setting where sensor data is collected by a cen-
tral monitoring station, and enables instead multiple mobile monitoring stations to
access the sensors in their proximity and share the collected data through wireless
links. This intrinsically context-aware setting is demanded by applications where
the sensors are sparse and possibly isolated, and where on-site, location-dependent
data collection is required. An extension of the Lime middleware for mobile ad hoc
networks, TinyLime makes sensor data available through a tuple space interface,
providing the illusion of shared memory between applications and sensors. Data
aggregation capabilities and a power-savvy architecture complete the middleware
features. The paper presents the model and application programming interface of
TinyLime, together with its implementation for the Crossbow MICA2 sensor plat-
form.
