WSN Integration with Cloud Computing to Create Monitoring System for water and Underwater Environment

Abstract

Three-Dimensional Wireless Sensor Networks (3-D WSNs) have the ability to deal with multimedia content such as audio, video, still images and scalar sensor data. Threedimensional WSNs based surveillance systems can detect occurrences of events at designated points over time. Some of the leading applications include surveillance applications, battle-space monitoring, human tracking, underwater monitoring and urban warfare. The system presents an integrated framework of three-dimensional wireless sensor network (3-D WSN) with cloud computing for underwater surveillance applications. The integrated framework provides a faster and more convenient platform for the client to obtain information from an array of sensor nodes that has been set-up for monitoring and surveillance marine environment. At the server side, the sensor nodes collect the data and transfer them to cloud where the data are stored in the databases and then processed. On the client side, the user will use the internet to request for the web services that will fetch the data from the distributed SQL databases and on the basis of the threshold values would display the warnings as well as the data obtained. In addition, this work presents the concept of cloud computing and services. The benefits of this system include basic computing hardware and reasonable storage capacities making it suitable for any 3D WSN which provides real time monitoring and surveillance in 3-D space. The customers can fully access our cloud service using devices that have internet capabilities. This work focuses includes distributed computing and resource allocation of processing three-dimensional wireless multimedia sensor data, collected in a 3-d space, and performance evaluation over various parameters settings in a cloud environment. We utilize CloudSim for simulating the cloud computing environment.
