Sensors detect an input event and control an output event. The output often requires different timing than that of the input event. Sometimes several inputs must jointly produce an output event. In other words, logic alters the raw sensor signal so that it is directly useful for controlling local action in response to sensed events (Ouzounov et al., 2006). A sensor is an interactive application; it expresses interest in an event by defining a sensitive ‘region' and an event type. For example, if a sensor wishes to receive events directed to a geographical object, it can define its region ...
