MaD-WiSe (Data Management in Wireless Sensor networks

MaD-WiSe (Management of Data in Wireless Sensor networks) is a joint project of the laboratories of Wireless Networks and Multimedia Networked Information Systems of the ISTI - CNR and the Computer Science Department of the University of Pisa. It aims at the integration of database and wireless sensor networks technologies, to let the processing of complex queries in sensor networks, even when the network is disconnected from the sink nodes. This requirement has several implications on the different layers of the sensor network architecture. The MaD-WiSe project investigates these implications at different layers: -at the communication level, addressing routing related problems; -at the data-management level, investigating issues related to database technologies and to their adaptability to the management of streams of sensed data; -at a middleware level, by designing a support the data management level compatible with the sensors constraints.
