Globus Monitoring and Discovery Service and SensorML for Grid Sensor Networks

This paper describes an approach based on Globus toolkit for developing grid sensor networks. In fact, the Globus Monitoring and Discovery Service is used to integrate sensor networks in Grid environments by means of the design of an information structure based on Sensor Modeling Language (SensorML).
A case study is also presented in order to provide some relevant details about our approach and to verify the concrete applicability of the proposed methodology.
