Abstract

Sensor cloud services provide a framework where sensors, clouds and services need to deliver useful information from a vast amount of sensor data. The premise is that sensors are the vehicle to collect that data. The cloud is the medium of sensor data storage. The service is the paradigm that allows the transformation of data into useful information. In this chapter, we first discuss the motivation behind this research. We then explain the research challenges. Thirdly, we highlight the research objectives. Finally, we discuss the contributions of this book and finish the chapter by introducing the subsequent chapters.
