Abstract:
Many of the applications of sensor networks are focused on data collection and monitoring, but existing tools for building such applications require users to write low level code to manage data filtration, aggregation, and routing. TinyDB, instead, presents users with a simple declarative interface where short, SQL-like expressions are translated into distributed query plans that are pushed into the network. In additional to dramatically simplifying the task of programming a sensor network for data collection, TinyDB enables the traditional relational advantages of data independence and transparent optimization.
In this talk, I will summarize the query processing features of TinyDB, focusing on the features we have developed to provide users with control over when and where data is acquired from the sensor network. I will include a brief demonstration of the system.
