A Middleware Architecture for Sensor Networks Applied to Industry Solutions of Internet of Things

With the deployment and application of Internet of Things, sensor network middleware has become an increasingly important factor to facilitate the programmer task and bridge the gap between the applications and the underlying hardware. Current state-of-the-art middleware for sensor networks lack attention for integrating services into a generic architecture and present inflexibility that make them useless in the context of Internet of Things. To solve this problem, we present layered and distributed middleware architecture with an emphasis on relationships between different services under various scenarios. A fast processing and forwarding engine utilizing label mechanism is also realized during the implementation of the proposed architecture. The actual application of sensor network middleware demonstrate that our proposed architecture is highly modular and efficient, offers good performance in complex application scenarios of Internet of Things.
