Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are composed of low powered and resource-constrained wireless sensor nodes that are not capable of performing high-complexity algorithms. Integrating these networks into the Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates their real-time optimization based on remote data visualization and analysis. This work describes the design and implementation of a scalable system architecture that integrates WSNs and cloud services to work autonomously in an IoT environment. The implementation relies on Software Defined Networking features to simplify the WSN management and exploits data analytics tools to execute a reinforcement learning algorithm that takes decisions based on the environment's evolution. It can automatically configure wireless sensor nodes to measure and transmit the temperature only at periods when the environment changes more often. Without any human…
