A Survey on Architectures, Applications and Issues of Sensor-Cloud

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks have been growing in many areas like healthcare, surveillance, disaster sensing, agriculture, defence, weather forecasting, smart home and manufacturing. A sensor network is a sensor node that is connected spatially to form a network automatically for receiving data transmission among them. The limited resources for wireless sensor networks are real-time transmission with high demands and its processing. In the distributed computing environment, the cloud computing has its own popularity with data processing needs and storage for its cloud environments. Cloud computing can be referred to an era of providing applications, infrastructure and platforms with accessing of shared computing resources over the network. Therefore in the present days, Sensor-Cloud integration provides a high scalable, flexible and open reconfiguration platform for controlling and monitoring the applications.
