Activity detection in WMSNs is a hot topic for surveillance applications since automated determination of activities is a difficult process. This study aims to increase the reliability of activity detection by using semantic Web technologies extended with fuzzy logic. The proposed approach consists of three layers: sensor, data and semantic Web layers. The sensor layer includes a WMSN including sensor nodes with multimedia and scalar sensors. The data layer retrieves and stores data from the sink of the WMSN. At the top of the architecture, there is a semantic Web layer including a semantic Web application server, a fuzzy reasoning engine, and a semantic knowledge base. When there is a new entity detection at the sensor layer, the related data produced by the sensors and the sink is collected in the data layer and transmitted to the semantic Web application server where the data is converted to subjects-predicates-objects in accordance with designed ontology and saved in RDF format. Then, the fuzzy reasoning engine is automatically activated and fuzzy rules are executed to decide whether there is an activity in the controlled area. The proposed approach is implemented for an example surveillance application in which various threat types are deduced (i.e., attack, protest or ordinary mobility). In the implementation, the sensor layer is simulated with an application which produces synthetic data according to given scenarios. Users of the system can monitor occurring events in near-real time or replay recent events on their browsers. This implementation proves that the semantic Web technologies extended with fuzzy logic may have a significant impact on activity detection in WMSNs.

Implementation of an Enhanced Target Localization and Identification Algorithm on a Magnetic WSN Baghaee, Sajjad; GÜRBÜZ, SEVGİ ZÜBEYDE; Uysal, Elif (2015-10-01) Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are ubiquitous in a wide range of applications requiring the monitoring of physical and environmental variables, such as target localization and identification. One of these applications is the sensing of ferromagnetic objects. In typical applications, the area to be monitored is typically large compared to the sensing radius of each magnetic sensor. On the other hand, the RF communication radii of WSN nodes are invariably larger than the sensing radii. This makes it economic...
A Fusion-Based Framework for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks in Surveillance Applications Yazici, Adnan; Koyuncu, Murat; Sert, Seyyit Alper; Yilmaz, Turgay (2019-01-01) Multimedia sensors enable monitoring applications to obtain more accurate and detailed information. However, the development of efficient and lightweight solutions for managing data traffic over wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) has become vital because of the excessive volume of data produced by multimedia sensors. As part of this motivation, this paper proposes a fusion-based WMSN framework that reduces the amount of data to be transmitted over the network by intra-node processing. This framewor...
Revisiting Shamir's no-key protocol: Lightweight key transport Kılıç, Adnan; Onur, Ertan (2018-03-29) Key-transport protocols, subclasses of key-establishment protocols, are employed to convey secret keys from a principal to another for establishing a security association. In this paper, we propose a lightweight, practicable, tweakable, energy-efficient, and secure key-transport protocol, suitable forwireless sensor networks (WSN), Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile networks. The proposed protocol is based on the Shamir's no-key protocol. Although Shamir's no-key protocol does not require any pre-shared se...
Fault-tolerant topology control in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks Bağcı, Hakkı; Yazıcı, Adnan; Körpeoğlu, İbrahim; Department of Computer Engineering (2013) Wireless sensor networks have come into prominence for monitoring and tracking operations in many application areas including environmental monitoring, battlefield surveillance, healthcare solutions, vehicle traffic monitoring, smart home systems and many other industrial applications. A long network life time and fault-tolerant operation are two essential requirements for wireless sensor network applications. In order to satisfy these requirements, heterogeneous architectures can be employed in wireless se...
Analysis and modeling of routing and security problems in wireless sensor networks with mathematical programming İncebacak, Davut; Baykal, Nazife; Bıçakcı, Kemal; Department of Information Systems (2013) Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are composed of battery powered small sensor nodes with limited processing, memory and energy resources. Self organization property together with infrastructureless characteristics of WSNs make them favorable solutions for many applications. Algorithms and protocols developed for WSNs must consider the characteristics and constraints of WSNs but since battery replenishment is not possible or highly challenging for sensor nodes, one of the major concerns in designing network p...
