Virtual Sensor Nodes Comment
In a previous blog post, I discussed the idea of a virtual scripting layer that operated over the Sensorpedia data sources. Each data source, instead of just exposing links to data, will also expose a data-oriented programming interface. Users will be able to write and upload scripts that can transform raw data and communicate with [...]
