无线传感器网络由大量具有计算能力、无线通信和传感能力的小型设备组成。这些网络已被开发用于广泛的应用，如生境监测、物体跟踪、精准农业、建筑物监测和军事系统。与此同时，中间件系统也被提出来促进这些应用程序的开发，并提供公共的应用服务。然而，由于传感器节点的资源和处理能力的低可用性，传感器网络中间件的开发给中间件开发人员带来了新的挑战。在此背景下，本文提出了一种无线传感器网络的中间件Mires的设计和实现。Mires通过允许应用程序以发布/订阅的方式进行通信，结合了面向消息的中间件的特性。为了说明所提出的中间件，我们还开发了一个环境监控应用程序和数据聚合服务。
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a large number of small devices with computational power, wireless communication and sensing capability. These networks have been developed for a wide range of applications, such as habitat monitoring, object tracking, precision agriculture, building monitoring and military systems. Meanwhile, middleware systems have also been proposed in to facilitate both the development of these applications and provide common application services. The development of middleware for sensor networks, however, places new challenges on middleware developers due to the low availability of resources and processing capacity of the sensor nodes. In this context, this paper presents the design and implementation of a middleware for WSN named Mires. Mires incorporates characteristics of message-oriented middleware by allowing applications communicate in a publish/subscribe way. In order to illustrate the proposed middleware, we have also developed an environment-monitoring application and a data aggregation service.
