Abstract :
Characteristics of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) make their management different from traditional networks. With service oriented concepts having been implemented in WSNs, this paper investigates service oriented management of heterogeneous WSNs. A services oriented management architecture for heterogeneous WSNs is proposed in order to make better use of network management business processes from the point of view of WSNs managers/users. Within the proposed management architecture, entities and common management services are specified with heterogeneity of WSNs hidden by loose-coupling service oriented Web Services technologies. Functional architectures of entities and key issues for implementing the prototype system are presented.
