Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating interoperation between communication devices of different networks following different protocols is provided. The computer-implemented method enables creating a virtual device. The virtual device is a software representation of a first communication device in a first network. The computer-implemented method further comprises linking a synchronization module within the virtual device to the first communication device. The synchronization module receives data related to one or more attributes of the first communication device. The computer-implemented method comprises linking at least one mapping module within the virtual device to a second communication device. The mapping module facilitates conversion of the received data and transmission of the converted data to the second communication device for facilitating interoperation therebetween.

Abstract: A method for creating a virtual Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is disclosed. The method includes extracting one or more niceties of a physical WSN and embedding at least one of the extracted niceties in a soft object to represent one or more sensor nodes of the physical WSN. The method includes, sending equivalent command to the one or more sensor nodes of the physical WSN, when one or more changes are performed on corresponding niceties of the soft object. Further, the method adding or deleting one or more niceties corresponding to the one or more sensor nodes from the soft object upon ingress or egress of the one or more sensor nodes in the physical WSN. The method also includes steps of building application using the soft object of the virtual WSN.
