Abstract. As sensor networks mature and are increasingly deployed, they will play
an integral role in everyday life as the interface between the physical and digital
worlds. In contrast to the current generation of sensor networks that are application-
specific and exposed only to a limited set of users, heterogeneous sensor networks
will start to be used by users in their surrounding environment dynamically. The
available sensors are likely to be dynamic (e.g., due to mobility) and heterogeneous
in terms of their capabilities and software elements. They may provide different types
of services and allow different configurability and access. A critical component in
