Abstract:
1. A method for managing a sensor network, the method comprising: receiving a service request from the outside, and analyzing the received service request; generating group specification information including requirements for each of the categories for logical USN (ubiquitous sensor network) resources required to handle the service request based on the analysis result; forming a logical sensor network consisting of physical USN resources based on the group specification information; generating USN actuating information relating to the physical USN resources, based on metadata relating to the physical USN resources constituting the formal logical sensor network; actuating each of the USN resources constituting the logical sensor network based on the USN actuating information; and receiving actuation results from the USN resources; wherein the USN resources comprise at least either of one sensor node or one actuator node, a sensor group consisting of a plurality of sensor nodes, or an actuator group consisting of a plurality of actuator nodes; wherein, in the generating of group specification information, the group specification information comprises the location and sensing condition for a sensing type and the location and actuator operating condition for an actuator type, and further comprises a service logic; wherein, in the generating of USN actuating information, the USN actuating information comprises an identifier, connecting information of the USN resources, and an assisted operation representing an operation to be performed by the corresponding USN resources, and further comprises a service logic; and wherein the receiving of actuation results comprises:
