The increasing availability of sensing devices has made the possibility of context-aware ubiquitous computing applications real. However, constructing this software requires extensive knowledge about the devices and specialized programming languages for interacting with them. While the nature of ubiquitous computing lends users to demand individualized applications, complexities render programm...

“Real Time Sensor Web Enabled Water Quality Monitoring System” is an attempt to develop a general sensor and data model for monitoring water quality. The parameters for determining the quality of water are the pH level, turbidity and temperature. The main aim of this paper is to use a standardized Service Orientated Architecture (SOA), for sensor data representation in universal standards that ...
