Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication SystemsTest-of-Time award for a publication about distributed sensor networks
Das wissenschaftliche Paper »Infrastructure for data processing in large-scale interconnected sensor networks«, verfasst von Prof. Dr. Karl Aberer (EPFL), Prof. Dr. Manfred Hauswirth (Institutsleiter Fraunhofer FOKUS und Lehrstuhl »Open Distributed Systems« TU Berlin) und Dr. Ali Salehi (EPFL, nun Teradata) wird am 18. Juni im Rahmen der IEEE Mobile Data Management Konferenz mit dem Test-of-Time Preis ausgezeichnet.
The award honors publications that have been recognized as particularly outstanding and important for science over a longer period of time. The scientific paper, to which the director of FOKUS Prof. Dr. Manfred Hauswirth has made a significant contribution, describes a middleware approach for Global Sensor Networks (GDN) that (1) enables simple sensor abstraction, (2) enables simple sensor data integration and distributed query processing, and (3) supports sensor mobility.
The approach presented has proven to be very influential and visionary in the research area of wireless sensor networks. The publication has inspired many researchers to do their own research, which can be seen, among other things, in the very frequent citations.
