<p class="MsoNormal">Research and applications in wireless sensor networks (WSN) and cloud computing (CC) continue to grow. The integration of sensor networks and cloud computing play a vital role in the advancement of modern sensor technology with the strength of cloud computing. The aim of sensor cloud (SC) is to make the sensed and processed data accessible from distributed networks. With sensor clouds, large-scale data can be collected, processed, and shared among multiple networks. Sensor cloud raises many research and practical challenges such as event processing and management, real time data processing, large scale computing infrastructure and frameworks, and harvesting collective intelligence. <u></u><u></u></p>
