Abstract: A communication unit acquires sensor-side metadata, which is information relating to a sensor, and application-side metadata, which is information relating to an application. A comparison unit extracts a sensor that can provide the sensing data through matching between the sensor-side metadata and the application-side metadata, and a notification unit transmits, based on a result of the extraction, a data flow control command to a sensor management device. The sensor-side metadata and the application-side metadata contain data that can be handled as dynamic data.

Abstract: A sensor management unit transmits first sensing data obtained by a first sensor monitoring a target to an external device external to the sensor management unit. The sensor management unit includes a processor, and a memory storing a program. The memory stores obtaining condition information that defines obtaining conditions for obtaining a plurality of candidate items of metadata to be associated with the first sensing data. The program causes the processor to implement obtaining at least one of the candidate items of metadata in accordance with the obtaining conditions and transmitting, to the external device, the obtained first sensing data and the obtained metadata in a manner associated with each other.

Abstract: First and second data catalogs each indicate sensing data attributes. The first and second data catalogs each include a first word indicating an observation object of a sensor that generated sensing data and a second word indicating an observation characteristic of the sensor. A score calculation unit includes a first weight determination part, a second weight determination part, and a score calculation part. The first weight determination part determines a first weight value relating to the observation object, based on the relationship between the first words included in the first and second data catalogs. The second weight determination part determines a second weight value relating to the observation characteristic, based on the relationship between the second words included in the first and second data catalogs . The score calculation part calculates a score relating to the coincidence of the first and second data catalogs, using the first and second weight values.

Abstract: In a network system, an own subsystem recognition unit is provided in each of subsystems, and holds a state and a function of the own subsystem. A shared information communication unit acquires states and functions of the subsystems. An objective acceptance unit accepts a setting of a target state. A shared storage unit stores knowledge regarding a combination structure of functions of the respective subsystems necessary for realizing the target state. A structure setting unit automatically sets a combination structure of functions of the respective subsystems, including determining whether the function of each of the subsystems is to be activated, based on the target state, states and functions of the subsystems, and the knowledge regarding a combination structure. A role determination unit determines functions to be executed by the respective subsystems based on the automatically set combination structure. A role notification unit notifies the subsystems of the determined respective functions.
