摘要：The applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have recently become the core element in many industrial business models. The literature reports several aspects about the deployment and associated implementation protocols of WSN. However, conceptual taxonomization of the different elements of a WSN system seems lacking in the literature especially in terms of middleware models. As a result, this paper based on our survey work of middleware models available in the literature in order to serve as a base for the investigation of a general purpose middleware model that suits different business needs and network architectures. The survey is carried out by considering some key architectural characteristics defined in a prior work that have been identified to cause potential mismatches between business applications and hertogeneous WSNs. Our analysis is derived by the notion of middleware models and component models adopted by the software engineering community as we believe their defined practices can benefit the WSNs community to standardize their development activities.
