Abstract: Low-level nodes (LLNs) that are communicatively connected to one another each have sensing capability and processing capability. High-level nodes (HLNs) that are communicatively connected to one another and to the LLNs each have processing capability more powerful than the processing capability of each LLN. The LLNs and the HLNs perform processing based on sensing events captured by the LLNs. The processing is performed by the LLNs and the HLNs to minimize data communication among the LLNs and the HLNs, and to provide for software-defined sensing.
