The Sensor Web concept, initially developed in NASA¹s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory as an autonomously organized
wireless sensor network to monitor the environment, has been strongly shaped
over the past years by the sensor
web enablement (SWE) initiative of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The
understanding of the Sensor Web
has changed, and it is today seen as an extension of the World Wide Web to
allow an integration of sensors and
sensor networks with applications. The key functionality of the Sensor Web
is to allow the interoperable usage of
sensor resources by enabling (1) discovery, (2) access, (3) tasking, and (4)
eventing and alerting. Thereby, sensors that
can be brought into the Sensor Web infrastructure range from complex
satellite systems, over water gauge stations, to
simple sensing devices embedded in things of our day-to-day life (e.g., cars
or household appliances).

This situation of myriads of sensors emerging on the Sensor Web leads to
various research challenges, starting
from an efficient integration of sensors to the scalable processing of
gathered sensor data. This special issue aims
at gathering recent research results dealing with semantic challenges on the
Sensor Web from a broad perspective.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
€ Semantic processing of sensor data
€ Large-scale data processing on the SensorWeb
€ Applications of semantic technologies on the Sensor Web for particular
problems or domains
€ Semantic SensorWeb middleware and architectures
€ Semantic integration and querying of heterogeneous and distributed sensor
data
€ Representing of, and reasoning about, uncertainty on the SensorWeb
€ Semantic challenges for integrating sensors with the SensorWeb
€ Handling SensorWeb resources as linked data
€ Crowd-sourced sensing and its semantic challenges
€ Semantic sensor event stream processing
