Abstract:
The necessity to create virtual sensors derived from the fact that in the condition of the existence of millions of sensors, cloud computing becomes the compulsory layer between physical sensors which capture aspects of the external environment and the application interface. In fact a virtual sensor is able to measure indirectly, combining the data obtained from physical sensors, sizes that are not physically measurable. In this paper the authors analyze the implications of virtual sensors in the future development of the remote experiment. Virtual sensors will form a bridge between what is measured in the network and what learners will want to measure, using the existing sensors and an appropriate algorithm. Virtual sensors will convert data from multiple sensors into useful information that cannot be obtained from a single sensor, providing an indirect measurement of values that are not physically measurable. The introduction of the virtual sensors will multiply the communication manners, implying Machine to Machine (M2M), People to Machine (P2M) and People to People (P2P) [1].
