Efficient Sensor Data Inclusion in Enterprise Services

Modern enterprises need to be agile and dynamically support decision making processes at several levels. To achieve that, critical information need to be available at the right point in a timely manner, and in the right form. The data stream that flows from the real world devices towards enterprise systems, needs to be integrated, processed within a specific context and be communicated on-demand and on-time. In the future event-based infrastructures where millions of devices will openly cooperate, traditional approaches aiming at the efficient data inclusion in enterprise services need to be changed. This paper focuses on the requirements enterprise systems pose to clusters of devices such as the wireless sensor networks, and the directions that could be followed.
