SensorScript: a Business-Oriented Domain-Specific Language for Sensor Networks

The amount of different usages in sensor networks grows with the deployment of ever more diverse sensors within a same network. More varied data implies a more heterogeneous panel of users. Such a diversity in usages leads to a major problem about data modelling: being able to address, for each user, precisely his needs, and his needs only. In other words, providing a model which would avoid to overwhelm any user with all the data gathered from the sensor network, regardless if it is actually required by the user. Defining usages, each one addressing a user and his own knowledge, is an essential step in the construction of the model. To leverage this issue, we propose SensorScript: a multitree modelling for sensor networks which addresses each of these specific usages. With this modelling comes a domain specific language (DSL) which allows users to search, query and aggregate informations from the sensors.
