A System Architecture for Filtering and Disseminating Data inSensors Networks

摘要

In this paper we propose system architecture for providing direction and dissemination in military environments.We start with a description of the problem of direction and dissemination. We then present our high level architectureand describe the functions of the main system components on which we focus. This includes the types of informationand means by which they may be delivered, the filtering and fusion engines employed to focus and limit the informationsent to each personnel, and the schedulers used to determine the order of delivery. We consider a structure that includessending information directly to personnel, or depending on bandwidth and delay constraints, sending meta-informationto personnel to assist in self-retrieval of information from a peer-to-peer network of sensors and other personnel. Weillustrate the operation of the architecture using a specific military scenario.
