SENSEI – Motivation

Integrating wireless sensor and actuator networksefficiently into the future internet is a MUST

1. The growing importance of context-awareness as an enabler for moreintelligent, invisible and autonomous applications and services has highlightedthe need for a greater integration of the physical with the digital world.

2. The lack of an open framework for WS&AN is leading to the emergence ofclosed vertically integrated WS&AN deployments that will prevent re-use ofcontext information for new applications and services.

3. The observation that embedded sensors and actuators will make up themajority of connected devices in the Future Internet and their specificrequirements will have a strong impact on the design of the Future Internet.


Today/TomorrowToday’s WSNs are Tomorrow’s WS&ANs are

Highly specialised and purpose built formainly� One user� One application� One business case

Highly specialised and purpose built BUT for� Many users� Many application� Many business cases

Only Sensors Sensors & Actuators

Applications are still coarse Intelligent dynamic applications (many M2M)

Statically configured Dynamically reconfigured including theprotocol stack

Based on many proprietary technologies Based on a few standardised solutions

Island technologies, not openly connectedand accessible

Still islands, but openly connected to theInternet and reusable

Sparsely deployed Ubiquitously deployed - scalability


SENSEI vision• Design and provide a managed environment for “real world

interaction” service providers and consumers to interact.


SENSEI – Challenges• Future Internet integration

– Contribute to a scalable system architecture for the Future Internet considering thespecial demands of sensor and actuator networks of unprecedented number and scale.

� communication protocols� mobility and resource management� processing mechanisms

– Design control and management mechanisms and protocols, which enable costefficient and ensured operation of the future networking and service infrastructure.

– Design mechanisms and protocols ensuring trust, security and information privacy.

– Provide mechanisms for accountability and billing for access to context information andactuation services.

– Enable easy convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous WS&AN within thenetwork of the future, by providing PnP functionality.


SENSEI – Challenges• Sensor services and interfaces to applications

– Provide access to context information and actuation services in a unified mannerover standardised interfaces across domains in a global and open market setting.

– Design standardised service interfaces offering applications and application developersaccess to different abstraction levels of sensing and actuation service components.

• WS&AN islands – sensing and actuation

– Design mechanisms and protocols able to deal with the consequences caused by mobilityof WS&AN solutions and entities of interest.

– Design highly energy and spectrum efficient mechanisms and protocols to captureand actuate the context information.

– Design mechanisms and protocols ensuring trust, security and information privacy.


SENSEI - Target outcomes1. A highly scalable architectural framework with corresponding protocol

solutions that enable easy plug and play integration of a large number ofglobally distributed WS&AN into a global system – providing support for networkand information management, security, privacy and trust and accounting.

2. An open service interface and corresponding semantic specification to unifythe access to context information and actuation services offered by the systemfor services and applications.

3. Efficient WS&AN island solutions consisting of a set of cross-optimised andenergy aware protocol stacks including an ultra low power multi-modetransceiver targeting 5nJ/bit.

4. Pan European test platform, enabling large scale experimental evaluation ofthe SENSEI results and execution of field trials - providing a tool for long termevaluation of WS&AN integration into the Future Internet.

Challenges• How to access information and execute actuation tasks ?• How to model services, context information and actuation tasks?


Peering SENSEI Systems


Peering SENSEI Systems

Challenges• Service continuation after an association switch or changes inconnectivity providers• Seamless transition btw different SENSEI system domains whilemaintaining security, privacy and accountability throughout the system• How to model the peering interface?• How to maintain the scalability and flexibility at a global scale?

Complexinteractions!


SENSEI intends to design and provide a managed open environment for“real world interaction” service providers and consumers to interact

Standardized interfaces & protocols will play a key role to facilitate theinteractions and peering arrangements btw these services
