A Web Service Model for Providing Weather Information through Sensor Networks Using a Fermat Point Based Data Forwarding Scheme

摘要

Web services providing weather information are not new. The existing web services working on this kind of fields can provide more precised information if the concerned data is collected in a distributed fashion using a sensor network. Longer the lifetime of the sensor network, longer is the service provided without interruption. In this paper we propose a web service for providing weather information with a sensor network as the backbone. We have used a Fermat point based forwarding technique to minimize the energy consumption of the sensor network which eventually helps the web service work in an uninterrupted fashion for a longer duration, as the life time of the network has prolonged.
