 Introduction

 Distributed query processing in wireless sensor

networks provides declarative access to data from
multiple sensor nodes.
 In distributed query processing, a run time database is
maintained about a specific type of query, i.e. how the
nodes in a WSN will respond to a particular query.
 There are two types of approach generally taken to
respond a query:
1. Centralized Database
2. Distributed Database
Centralized database approach for WSN

 The Centralized approach deals with the static data

set. The data are stored in a persistent repository
which can be accessed at anytime.
Distributed database approach for WSN

The distributed approach deals with continuous

and infinite streams of data, and the data
repositories are not likely to be persistent due to
the mobility features of WSN.
RESEARCH CHALLENGES
 Multi-query optimization
 Mobility
 Heterogeneity in network nodes
 In-network aggregation
 Distributed in-network storage
 Query re-optimization
