Abstract
Wireless sensor networks hold the promise of innovative applications in the area of monitoring and control. This chapter presents a distributed architecture to control a grid of Wireless sensor networks. Each Wireless sensor network is managed by a gateway device that uses a web service interface to provide basic functionalities for delivering data collected by the sensors. The sensor nodes have been designed with features of low cost, easiness to use, and offer specific support to industrial applications. The chapter examines how these nodes can be used in a real world scenario, an automatic meter reading system, where there is the need to monitor energy consumption of several buildings in a wide commercial area.
