Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) is a critical technology for information gathering covering many areas, including health-care, transportation, air traffic control and environment monitoring. Despite wide use, the fast increasing data emanating from WSN is not fully utilized due to the limitation for structure of WSN itself. Along with the further development of WSN, the data form which is not be efficiently managed and applied to supply information services for users. As the emerging IT technology, cloud computing supplies powerful utilization ability for IT resources, which makes many traditional applications migrate to cloud computing. In this paper, we propose a framework integrating cloud computing paradigm and WSN, which fully uses data process ability and service model for cloud computing. In the framework, data form WSN are efficiently utilized and managed, depending on which, information services for WSN are well provided to users.
