Application of the World Wide Web (WWW) for the transfer of sensor data from remote locations to laboratories and offices is a largely ignored application of the WWW. We have investigated several architectures for this application including simple web server/client architectures and variations of this approach. In addition, we have evaluated several commercial approaches and other techniques that have been investigated and are in the literature. Finally, we have provided conclusions based on the results of our study offering suggestions about the advantages and disadvantages of each of the approaches studied.
