Abstract
The proliferation and affordability of webcams and other smart sensors have created opportunities for novel sensor-enriched Internet services, which combine traditional data sources with information collected from live sensor feeds. This paper describes the design, architecture, and implementation of IrisNet, the first generalpurpose software infrastructure tailored to the unique demands of worldwide sensing services. IrisNet provides service authors with a very high-level abstraction of the underlying system, to ease authoring of new services. For scalability and decreased bandwidth consumption, IrisNet pushes both sensor feed processing and queries close to the sensor nodes. IrisNet provides distributed query processing, data partitioning, caching, load balancing, and replication schemes optimized for sensor-enriched Internet services. This paper reports on experiments with a working IrisNet prototype running two example services that demonstrate the effectiveness of IrisNet’s features in achieving scalability and reducing query response times.
