Abstract

SPINE (signal processing in node environment) is a framework for the development of body sensor network (BSN) applications. It provides developers of signal processing algorithms with APIs and libraries of protocols, utilities and data processing functions. Hence, it offers application developers new abstractions that improve interoperability and allow to reduce development time. This paper presents the architecture and the capabilities of the SPINE framework, and shows its use in the development of a real-time activity monitoring system prototype.
