Definition

Mobile Sensor Network (MSN) Data Management refers to a collection of centralized and distributed algorithms, architectures and systems to handle (store, process and analyze) the immense amount of spatio-temporal data that is cooperatively generated by collections of sensing devices that move in space over time.

Formally, given a set of n homogenous or heterogeneous mobile sensors {s1, s2,…, sn} that are capable of acquiring m physical attributes {a1, a2,…, am } from their environment at every discrete time instance t (i.e., datahas a temporal dimension), an implicit or explicit mechanism that enables each si (i ≤ n) to move in some multi-dimensional Euclidean space (i.e., data has one or more spatial dimensions), MSN Data Management provides the foundation to handle spatio-temporal data in the form (si, t, x, [y, z,]a1[,…,am]), where x, y, zdefines three possible spatial dimensions and the...
