 /meetings/attachments/2009-11-30-MMPAC09-pbrandao.pdf .*\n\nA BSN is a het
 erogeneous environment populated with different types of sensors.  \nAs su
 ch it needs a framework to abstract to applications the underlying sensor 
 resources they need to get the information from. Such framework (a middlew
 are)\, should allow applications to issue information requests with a set 
 of requirements to be met. This would then be translated into sensor resou
 rce access(es) while trying to abide by the requirements. In this paper we
  describe an architecture proposal for such a middleware and an implementa
 tion overview of a first prototype. We focus on the first layer needed to 
 provide an abstraction to the resources.\n\n_(practice talk for M-MPAC-200
