ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method, system and program product for deploying and allocating resources, and addressing threats in an autonomic sensor network ecosystem. Specifically, under the present invention, the autonomic sensor network ecosystem includes a set (e.g., one or more) of sensor networks each having a set of sensor peers and at least one super peer; a set of micro grid gateways; and a set of enterprise gateways. Each micro grid gateway is typically adapted to receive requests from a sensor network, an enterprise gateway, and/or another micro grid gateway. Moreover, each micro grid gateway includes a request broker for receiving the requests; a request queue manager for queuing the requests; a scheduler for scheduling the requests; and a resource manager for monitoring the set of sensor networks.
