Trust-based forest monitoring system using Internet of Things

摘要

We introduce trust-based event-driven (TBED) infrastructure for forest monitoring and reporting. TBED endows the real-time local monitoring along with spatial monitoring. None of the work till now considers both local and spatial monitoring. To the best of our knowledge, TBED is the first attempt in this domain, where event-related information is reported to the consumers along with the effective area. TBED is based on the event-driven architecture in which device management and monitoring authorities, middleware event handler (MEH), and consumers are involved. Additionally, we present a trust mechanism to evaluate the sensor node trust for reliable information. At last, we present a case study of fire monitoring to depict the real-life scenario.
