The Sensor Web vision refers to the addition of a middleware layer between sensors and applications. To bridge the gap between these two layers, Sensor Web systems must deal with heterogeneous sources, which produce heterogeneous observations of disparate quality. Managing such diversity at the application level can be complex and requires high levels of expertise from application developers. Moreover, as an information-centric system, any Sensor Web should provide support for Quality of Observation (QoO) requirements. In practice, however, only few Sensor Webs provide satisfying QoO support and are able to deliver high-quality observations to end consumers in a specific manner.This survey aims to study why and how observation quality should be addressed in Sensor Webs. It proposes three original contributions. First, it provides important insights into quality dimensions and proposes to use the QoO notion to deal with information quality within Sensor Webs. Second, it proposes a QoO-oriented review of 29 Sensor Web solutions developed between 2003 and 2016, as well as a custom taxonomy to characterise some of their features from a QoO perspective. Finally, it draws four major requirements required to build future adaptive and QoO-aware Sensor Web solutions.

“…Having identified the challenges in Section III possible solutions were examined concluding that the incorporation of some aspects of the Context Relay approach [8] dealing with autonomous data dissemination is a promising way. Therefore, basic ideas of the approach, which also includes a bio-inspired method of weighting data, are shortly presented in this section to give a short overview.…”

Context-aware frameworks heavily rely on specific context information and extensive descriptions covering user preferences or service capabilities. These needs often constrain the easy and dynamic use of such frameworks in highly distributed and decentralized environments as needed information may be not available or the domain specific framework setup is complex and time-consuming.In this paper, we combine the ideas of two research areas, namely context-aware frameworks and autonomous data dissemination, to address these issues. A specific framework is used as a proof of concept incorporating a bio-inspired data dissemination mechanism to gather, disseminate, and provide important data purposefully. Respective challenges are identified resulting in an adaptable user-specific data dissemination approach that increases the availability of needed context information and decreases the necessity for defining complex descriptions redundantly.
