A taxonomy of robustness in sensor service networks

We consider which aspects of a sensor service network are important in achieving robustness, i.e. the ability to adapt or react to changes and external influences. The sensor service network is viewed as a collection of functional domains ranging from the Sensor Domain up to the Application and User Domains. The characteristics of robustness relate not only to resilience to communication problems, but also to dynamic sensors and services and to the overall system architectural design.
