Abstract. The deployment of sensor networks is both widespread and varied with more niche applications based on these networks. In the case study provided in this work, the network is provided by two football teams with sensors generating continuous heart rate values for the duration of the activity. In wireless networks such as these, the requirement is for complex methods of data management in order to deliver more and more powerful query results. In effect, what is required is a traditional database-style query interface where domain experts can continue to probe for the answers required in more specialised environments. This paper describes a system and series of experiments that requires powerful data management capabilities to meet the requirements of sports scientists.

Personal Health (pHealth) sensor networks are generally used to monitor the wellbeing of both athletes and the general public to inform health specialists of future and often serious ailments. The problem facing these domain experts is the scale and quality of data they must search in order to extract meaningful results. By using peer-to-peer sensor architectures and a mechanism for reducing the search space, we can, to some extent, address the scalability issue. However, synchronisation and normalisation of distributed sensor streams remains a problem in many networks. In the case of pHealth sensor networks, it is crucial for experts to align multiple sensor readings before query or data mining activities can take place. This paper presents a system for clustering and synchronising sensor streams in preparation for user queries.

“…IBM's Virtual XML Garden [27] and the draft of File System XML (FSX) [32] share the common idea to have a unified view over heterogeneous data sources. Since filesystems are structured hierarchically, they can easily be mapped to an XML structure as sketched in [32].…”

With the rise of XML, the database community has been challenged by semi-structured data processing. Since the data type behind XML is the tree, state-of-the-art RDBMSs have learned to deal with such data (e.g., [18,5,6,16]). This paper introduces a Ph.D. project focused on the question in how far the tree-awareness of recent RDBMSs can be used to, once again, try to implement filesystems using database technology. Our main goal is to provide means to query the data stored in filesystems and to find ways to enhance/ combine the data storage and query capabilities of operating systems using semi-structured database technology.Two DBMSs with relational XML storage, built on top of the XPath accelerator numbering scheme [14], are the foundations for our work. With BaseX, an XML database, we establish a link between user, database and filesystem content. BaseX allows visual access to filesystem data stored in the database. An integrated query interface allows users to filter query results in interactive response time. Second, we establish a link between DBMS and OS. We implement a filesystem in userspace backed by the MonetDB/XQuery system, a well-known relational database system, which integrates the Pathfinder XQuery compiler [5] and the MonetDB kernel [4].As a result, the DBMS is mounted as a conventional filesystem by the operating system kernel. Consequently, access via the established (virtual) filesystem interface as well as database enhanced access to the same data is provided.
