Abstract

With the pervasive diffusion of smartphones and ultra low-power wireless devices, the capability of implementing new objects with smart sensors which can directly share data on the internet is exponentially growing. This extraordinary data deluge poses new challenges to the research community such as storing/retrieving in a fast and reliable way the information. In this paper we present Sensormind, a virtual sensor environment for Internet of Things providing scalable and flexible solutions to manage hundreds of smart objects and which can be easily customized by end-users.

Sensormind is an open source project. It is available for trials and professional uses. http://www.sensormind.net/.
