Abstract
Since the emergence of WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks), various middleware architectures have been proposed to achieve a suitable abstraction from the distribution and management tasks of sensor devices. This allows users to focus on application development. In the near future, WSNs will be more pervasive, common, and distributed. Programming on WSNs requires a novel programming paradigm and middleware, especially in distributed and heterogeneous WSNs. We propose Virtual Sensor Agent-Oriented Middleware (VSAM), a middleware system for distributed and heterogeneous WSNs, which provides data dissemination protocol-independent Application Programming Interface (API) and an integrated platform for sensor applications. VSAM makes it possible to integrate WSNs with traditional networks.
