Service-oriented middleware for dynamic, real-time management of heterogeneous geosensors in flood management

Abstract

This thesis is firstly dedicated to God that helps me in my way to this journey. To my parents, sister and all my family members, with their great affection and support, since they do not spare any effort to ensure that I got to this stage of my life. To all my friends and colleagues for the constant encouragement and support. And to all my professional colleagues, who were important in my academic life. with his valuable advice and giving me the opportunity to develop this project. I am very grateful to my supervisors, the Ph.D. candidates, MSc. Flávio Eduardo Aoki Horita and MSc. Livia Castro Degrossi, for guiding me to better results. I am sincerely thankful to all my colleagues of the AGORA Group 1 , for contributing with their feedbacks, time and efforts in order to improve the results of the project.

A Service-Oriented Middleware for Integrated Management of Crowdsourced and Sensor Data Streams in Disaster Management

“…Finally, the middleware was applied to flood risk management scenario in Brazil. The results of a formal, systematic identification, classification, and interpretation of relevant studies to identify existing approaches to integrating sensors into the Sensor Web are described [ 67 ]. The search focused on studies that address issues involving scalability, reusability, interoperability, and standardization.…”

“…The middleware requirements for dynamic scenarios derived from a systematic mapping review [ 67 ] of the related works presented in the previous section are presented in this one, which brings the research up to date with recent studies. These requirements correspond to the functions needed to manage sensors, Sensor Web services and applications.…”
