Abstract:
Cloud computing has emerged as a new paradigm of computing platform. It covers almost every area of computing and provides platform to most of the data services. On the other hand, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has gained attention for their potential supports and attractive solutions such as environment monitoring, bio-median acknowledgment, healthcare monitoring, industrial automation, etc. Additionally, our virtual groups and social networks are in main role of information sharing. However, this sensor driven data is not available to community groups or cloud environment for general purpose research or utilization yet. If we reduce the gap between real and virtual world by adding this WSN driven data to cloud environment and virtual communities by providing censor driven contents to general researchers, and it can gain a remarkable attention from all over, by giving us the benefit in various sectors. Collaboration between WSN and the cloud environment can achieve this. We have proposed an integrated Publish/Subscribe (pub/sub)-based middleware service for the cloud platform to collaborate with WSN. This collaboration will provide resource, service, and storage with sensor driven data to the community. Furthermore, we have proposed a content-based event matching algorithm to analyze subscriptions and publish proper contents easily. We have evaluated our algorithm which sows better performance comparing with previously proposed algorithms.
