Containerized Virtualized Sensor Management System (CVSMS)

Web application can be used to add or remove different environmental sensors and provide the end users with APIs to access the data.

Tasks tackled

• Dynamically create containers representing sensors.
• Use Docker containers to manage the web application.
• Simulating physical sensors on containers.

Functionalities provided by web application

• Register users as sensor owners.
• Provide operations to add/remove sensors.
• Provide APIs to access the sensor data.
• Provide sensor application to make use of API exposed to visualize data.

High level flow of application

• User registers with the web application.
• Adds a new environment sensor by specifying the type, location and other relevant information.
• A virtual sensor is created representing the physical sensor.
• Successful sensor addition will expose APIs for accessing the data.
