Peer-to-peer sensor network system for a school temperature measurement system

In this paper, we propose the technique of sensor data mining by the peer-to-peer (P2P) network. The mechanism that it is possible to share on the P2P network is considered by receiving information from the sensor by the P2P application. A searching request for a sensor unit and mining the sensor data occurs on the P2P application. We applied the proposed technique to a school environment measurement system. In this system, sensor units are arranged on campus and a user can measure a room’s temperature and humidity. The temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are implemented in a microcomputer board that can connect to the Internet, and we define the microcomputer board as a sensor unit. We construct the P2P sensor network on which a PC accesses the sensor unit and the P2P application on its PC uploads on the P2P network. The P2P network can disclose sensor information after more advanced processing is given by thinking as a P2P application and not a sensor unit, but on the sensor unit and the PC.
