Abstract

Wireless sensor network (WSN) can provide the popular military and civilian applications such as surveillance, monitoring, disaster recovery, home automation and many others. All these WSN applications require some form of self-managing and autonomous computing without any human interference. Recently, ontology has become a promising technology for intelligent context-aware network management. It may cope with various conditions of WSNs. This paper describes an ontology-based management model for context-aware management of WSNs. It provides autonomous self-management of WSNs using ontology-based context representation, as well as reasoning mechanisms.
