1. A sensor interoperability system, comprising:

  • one or more sensors that each generate a piece of sensor data;

    one or more sensor proxies, each sensor proxy coupled to one of the one or more sensors wherein each sensor proxy processes the piece of sensor data from the sensor to create a sensor system piece of data wherein the sensor system piece of data has a common format, wherein each sensor proxy sets parameters for the sensor associated with the sensor proxy using a set command, retrieves data from the sensor associated with the sensor proxy using a get command and publishes the sensor system piece of data using a publish command; and

    a policy unit coupled to the one or more sensor proxies over a communications path, wherein the policy unit further comprises one or more policies wherein each policy further comprises a condition and an action wherein the condition tests a sensor system piece of data and the action is an action that occurs when the condition is satisfied and a policy engine that applies the one or more policies to the sensor system piece of data.
