A.F.M. Sultanul Kabir, Mohammad Saiful Islam Mamun . Graphical Query Builder in Opportunistic Sensor Networks to discover Sensor Information. International Journal of Computer Applications. 15, 1 ( February 2011), 11-25. DOI=10.5120/1913-2551
A lot of sensor network applications are data-driven. We believe that query is the most preferred way to discover sensor services. Normally users are unaware of available sensors. Thus users need to pose different types of query over the sensor network to get the desired information. Even users may need to input more complicated queries with higher levels of aggregations, and requires more complex interactions with the system. As the users have no prior knowledge of the sensor data or services our aim is to develop a visual query interface where users can feed more user friendly queries and machine can understand those.
