• Sensors are everywhere
– But the data is mostly dropped on the floor
• Physical => Digital => Information
• Each sensor becomes a network citizen

The Next Tier of the Internet” ?
• More than protocols - IP/TCP/HTTP
• Open Building blocks for physical information
– platforms, systems, networks
• Open Process for Networking Excellence
– Reference implementations leading to standardized
protocols and interfaces
• Design philosophy
– Expect Change, Failure, Uncertainty, Unexpected
• Enable broad applications
– Web services

Beware “IP hype”
• Pushing HTML over a wireless connection to a serial port
attached to a PC is NOT running IP on the sensorNet
• Nor is packet-scraping into XML-RPC

Sensor Net Challenges for traditional IP
• Large headers <> small packets
• Very different protocol assumptions
– Low-power
– Intermittent connectivity (mostly sleeping)
– Loss ≠> Congestion
• Very different traffic patterns
– Not universal point-to-point file transfer
– Aggregate collection, dissemination
• Naming
– The data is important, not the machine
• Mobility

Edge Network Approach
802.15.4, CC, …
27
Hybrid approach
• Security
– No IP to the nodes, attacks have to get through the gateway
or be physically close
• Namespace management
– Name nodes, networks, services
– Hosts, URLs, …
• Mask intermittent connectivity
– Terminate IP on the powered side
– Loosely couple, energy aware protocols on the other
• Distillation proxies
– Small binary packets where constrained
– Expanded to full text, XML, HTML, web services
• Rich suite of networking techniques in the Patch
unimpeded by overall internet-scale process

28
SensorNets need the Wisdom
of the “Internet Architecture”
• Design for change!
• Network protocols must work over a wide variety of links
– Links will evolve
• Network protocols must work for a variety of applications
– Applications will evolve
• Provide only simple primitives
– Don’t confuse the networking standard with a programming
methodology
• Don’t try to lock-in your advantage in the spec
• Open process
• Rough consensus AND running code

29
Networking vs Distributed Applications
• IP, 802.15.4, Zigbee are still “plumbing”
• Enterprise information infrastructure
means Integration with Applications
– The data, how it is represented, what it
means
– The operations you can do on it
– How it is obtained from the physical world
– Actions based on it

Database View of the World
• The World is a
Database
– SQL, ODBC/JDBC
– The good old days of
client-server
– Data warehouses and
distributed databases
– Network taken for
granted
SensorExpo - Next Internet
31
Web Services
• The ultimate interoperability
• unify within and between enterprises
– Service Oriented Architecture
– Widely adopted standards
•
•
•
•
Backed by OASIS and W3C
Open-source reference implementations, e.g., Apache
SOAP + WSDL (+ UDDI)
Or XML-RPC over HTTP (REST)

32
Web Service*
Platform and implementation independent
software component that can be
• Described using a service description
language
• Published to a registry of services
• Discovered through a standard mechanism
• Invoked through a declared API
– Usually over a network
• Composed with other services

• Service Description => interface & implementation
– Operations supported, input/output objects
– Bindings to network and data encoding schemes
– Network address where service can be invoked
• Enough that client can generate code to access the service well

• Embedded applications built on a
rich set of node services.

Take-aways
• WSN building blocks are here
• Enterprise Integration IS the key to the WSN
future
– Enterprises large, small, distributed, indoor, outdoor,
residential, industrial, …
• Integrate the applications, not just the network
– Independent of the transport, platform,.. (plumbing)
• Web Services provide the framework
– But the underlying infrastructure must be Rock Solid
and extensible
– The “plumbing” has to really really work
• Reliability, power, management, adaptation, life-cycle, …
