Semantic sensor network

Abstract

Smartphone devices have emerged as a powerful computational device equipped with multi sensors performing different operations. These sensors embedded in the mobile phones help gather information for the benefit of the user. Examples are the locations and temperature sensors that help track the users’ current location and also give the current temperature of the site respectively. Large amounts of data are generated during these processes and there is the need to manage these data. This paper presents a review of findings from different articles and journals on current and future sensors. It also focuses on how the generated data are managed using semantic technology. Sensors play a vital role in various aspects ofmodern life such as: health, transport, environment.
