Traditional Database Management
System – an overview


Database Schema – the structure and
constraints of the data format defined
through Data Definition Language (DDL)
Table
• Rows - record tuples
• Column – data attributes

DDL Compiler
• Translates these definitions into Metadata
• Metadata – a data structure describing the
structure of database and constraints

Traditional Database Management
System – an overview

Transactions - a sequence of operations
• Retrieving data
• Database updating
• Producing new tables

ACID Properties
• Atomicity – all of the transaction takes place or
nothing changes in the DB
• Consistency – correctness (from begin to end)
• Isolation – the transaction is concealed from
other transactions until it commits
• Durability – update effected by a transaction
survive until affected by other transactions

Traditional Database Management
System – an overview

Query
• Query Language – SQL (Structured Query
Language)

Join, group-by, sort, scan
• Query processor
• Execution engine

Data storage
• Geographically distributed at various locations
• Robust to failure
• Web-based access, remote access

Sensor Data & Database

Data Info of Sensor Network
• Time-stamped measurements of physical
phenomena

Heat, sound, light, pressure, motion, etc
• Abstract data representation

Detection, classification, tracking, etc
• Sensor Description: location, types, etc

Database?
• Traditional DBMS system
• DB within the network

Sensor Data & Database

Challenges
• The system is highly volatile
• Relational data tables are not static – new data is
continuously being sensed
• High energy cost in communication – encourage in
network query
• Long delay, need to continuously monitor the rates and
availability of data
• Maintain high-level statistical summaries: Limited
storage on node and high communication cost
• Sensor queries: queries from others, and self generated
queries
• Metrics of performance

Distributed Database – Wireless
Sensor Network





A set of database sites, each is a complete
database system
Local DB – store frequently used data to
minimize long-distance retrieval of large
quantities of data
Fault tolerant
Primary copy, Secondary copies
Data object naming:
•
•
•
•
Creator ID
Creator Site ID
Local name
Birth site ID

Data Management
• Queries should direct


collection, storage, and transport of data and
geographical and temporal scope
Signal processing, aggregation, and routing
strategies
