Sensor based Social Networks

Networked sensors simply form a network of interconnected entities of vested interests. Sensors help realize the Internet of Things and Inclusion. Sensor networks when equipped with internet connection help build networks based on the interests and parameters required. The social networks can be built based on the similarities of attributes to be sensed, data to be processed, and functions to be computed.

The virtual presence of everyday domestic entities, unexplorable geographic objects, and others when provided with unique ID can be realized by embedding sensor nodes. This gives the formation of Smarter Planet (URL 1) for managing, identifying, and controlling the environment around us while preserving the same.
