SENSTRAC: scalable querying of sensor networks from mobile platforms using tracking-style queries

Abstract-- Future applications running on mobile platforms will sometimes need to query sensors and track sensor data over time. This paper uses the publishsubscribe paradigm as a natural solution to querying sensors from mobile platforms, and proposes a scalable approach to implement publish-subcribe, driven by the querying application. Our approach is evaluated by simulation, focusing on scalability.
