Abstract
A research for middleware of WSN can provide sensor applications with avoiding tight coupling of hardware, ease of development, and abstract data access. However, previous works have some limitations which should install their own middleware onto the all sensor nodes resulting in computational and communication overhead. In order to address it, we proposed a virtual sensor overlay network, called TinyONet-Lite which introduced virtual sensors to model a virtual counterpart of physical sensors. These virtual sensors dynamically grouped into an overlay network, Slice, which provides middleware services. We implemented TinyONet-Lite on mote class hardware with TinyOS. In accordance with experiments and comparison with existing researches, TinyONet-Lite was proved to show advantages of extensibility, dynamic service composition and reducing overhead.
