N2 - Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a popular industry standard that provides an elegant model to create and compose interoperable applications. In the case of sensor networks, SOA is considered to be a very attractive enabler for sensor programmability and self-integration.

In the absence of such mechanisms, sensor-based SOA could provide a false promise of service whose, quality and availability are highly questionable and cannot be guaranteed. In this paper, we propose a Virtual Sensor framework for service-oriented sensor networks with the aim of enhancing reliability, prolonging availability and enabling automatic service composability.
