Abstract
Sensor networks and applications thereof have been intensively researched in the past decade and a variety of systems have been meanwhile deployed in real-world settings. Most of these applications and the corresponding sensor networks they use are designed as vertically integrated systems [1–3]. In such vertical systems, a sensor network or a limited set of mostly homogeneous sensor networks are deployed for a specific application in mind. The application is mostly the sole user of this sensor network and has a priori knowledge of the capabilities that the sensor network(s) provides. An application also typically knows how to address the respective gateways/sinks of the sensor networks, in order to interact with the sensor networks and shares a common interaction protocol with them.
