• Sensors behaviour view One of the main characteristics
is the context sensing capability enabled by cross-domain
multiple networked sensors through Wireless Sensor Networks
or by mobile sensors (mounted on robots, vehicles
or linked to smartphones) that can provide a better coverage
of the environment, as well as the ability to adapt to the
sensing network by focusing on the current “hot-spots”.
As a direct consequence of multiple types of sensors and
the large scale at which this kind of systems operate,
another defining characteristic is the presence of heterogeneous
information flows. Data collected from sensors
must trigger a chain of events leading to changes within
enterprise business process, collaboration mechanism or
organizational framework. Such changes can be achieved
in terms of simple sense-act enterprise behaviour (direct
link between sense and act) or more complex sense-planact
approach (decision level) (Sacala et al. 2013).
