As noted we have posted 2 XEP proposals to the council.
http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/sensor-data.html
http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/exi.html
This is a serie of in total 11 XEP's that will be submitted shortly. Peter W and I Joachim L have been looking on earlier initiatives on using XMPP for sensor networks and specifically Internet Of Things.
We both have a long history in working with large scale sensor networks such as smart metering and energy efficiency systems. We are very aware that a lot can be created via the use of MUC,adhoccommands, pubsub, x-forms etc from other XEP's and we will adress this.
But what is very clear to us is that to create a solid infrastructure for interoperable sensor networks that will attract large companies, we need a set of XEP's that interact closely to cover the whole area from private proprietary networks up to the full internet of things open sensor networks. Therefor the XEP's are also namned together under XEP-0000-SN- exept for the EXI that is general.
The base is the SensorData just published and we are now working on the Provisioning, Control will come soon. EXI will enable us to implement this into very constrained networks. This will
XEP-0000-Exi Defines how to EXI can be used in XMPP to achieve efficient compression of data. Albeit not a sensor network specific XEP, this XEP should be considered in all sensor network implementations where memory and packet size is an issue.
xep-0000-SN-BatteryPoweredSensors Defines how to handle the peculiars related to battery powered devices, and other devices intermittantly available on the network.
xep-0000-SN-Concentrators Defines how to handle architectures containing concentrators or servers handling multiple sensors.
xep-0000-SN-Control Defines how to control actuators and other devices in sensor networks.
xep-0000-SN-Discovery Defines the peculiars of sensor discovery in sensor networks. Apart from discovering sensors by JID, it also defines how to discover sensors based on location, etc.
xep-0000-SN-Events Defines how sensors send events, how event subscription, hysteresis levels, etc., are configured.
xep-0000-SN-Interoperability Defines guidelines for how to achieve interoperability in sensor networks, publishing interoperability interfaces for different types of devices.
xep-0000-SN-Multicast Defines how sensor data can be multicast in efficient ways.
xep-0000-SN-Provisioning Defines how provisioning, the management of access privileges, etc., can be efficiently and easilly implemented.
xep-0000-SN-PubSub Defines how efficient publication of sensor data can be made in sensor networks.
xep-0000-SN-SensorData This specification. Provides the underlying architecture, basic operations and data structures for sensor data communication over XMPP networks. It includes a hardware abstraction model, removing any technical detail implemented in underlying technologies. This XEP is used by all other sensor network XEPs.
