Abstract
Systems, methods and computer program products implementing techniques for real-time monitoring using sensor networks. A system implementing the techniques comprises a business application, a sensor network, and a communication link between the sensor network and the business application. The sensor network includes a plurality of sensor nodes, each sensor node being an electronic device that includes a sensor, a processor, memory, and inter-node communication logic that allows the sensor node to communicate bi-directionally with other sensor nodes in the plurality of sensor nodes, and the sensor network is configured to receive business logic from the business application through the communication link, and to execute the business logic on the sensor nodes.
