1. A method for managing at least one sensor network comprised of a plurality of sensors, said method comprising: obtaining measurement data and context data from said plurality of sensors, wherein at least two of said plurality of sensors communicate with one another over said at least one sensor network; storing said obtained measurement data and context data using a Massively Parallel Processing Database Management System; and managing said at least one sensor network from outside of said at least one sensor network using said Massively Parallel Processing Database Management System, wherein said step of managing said at least one sensor network comprises a context-aware adaptation of one or more sensors in said at least one sensor network based on individual requirements of a plurality of applications, wherein said at least one sensor network is managed by adjusting one or more elements of said at least one sensor network based on an evaluation of a data quality of said obtained measurement data relative to one or more error thresholds.
