UC Berkeley TinyDB Project

TinyDB是用于从TinyOS传感器网络中提取信息的查询处理系统。

不同于TinyOS上已有的其他数据处理解决方案，TinyDB不需要我们去为传感器编写嵌入的C代码。Tiny提供了简单的，类SQL的接口用于指明你需要提取的数据，附加额外的参数，诸如数据刷新的频率——就像我们在传统数据库上执行查询。

通过给定如何获取数据的查询信息，TinyDB从环境中搜集详尽的数据，进行过滤，把它们聚合在一起，然后路由到PC上。TinyDB通过高效的网内处理算法完成这些工作。

TinyDB is a query processing system for extracting information from a network of TinyOS sensors.

Unlike existing solutions for data processing in TinyOS, TinyDB does not require you to write embedded C code for sensors. Instead, TinyDB provides a simple, SQL-like interface to specify the data you want to extract, along with additional parameters, like the rate at which data should be refreshed -- much as you would pose queries against a traditional database.

Given a query specifying your data interests, TinyDB collects that data from motes in the environment, filters it, aggregates it together, and routes it out to a PC. TinyDB does this via power-efficient in-network processing algorithms.
