Integrating Wireless Sensor Network into Cloud services for real-time data collection

This paper presents an extensible and flexible architecture for integrating Wireless Sensor Networks with the Cloud. REST based Web services is used as an interoperable application layer that can be directly integrated into other application domains for remote monitoring such as e-health care services and smart environments. For proof of concept, we have set up a REST based Web services on an IP based low power WSN test bed, which enables data accessibility from anywhere. The alert feature has also been implemented to notify users via email or tweets for monitoring data when they exceed values and events of interest.
