Abstract
To suppress a server processing load and a network load in a sensor network which accommodates a great number of mobile sensor nodes. Among a plurality of distributed data processing servers (DDS) for managing data of sensor nodes, a distributed data processing server (DDS) that is a home server to hold data of a mobile sensor node is set for each sensor node by a directory server (DRS). At each distributed data processing server (DDS), upon reception of the data from the sensor node, identification process is executed as to whether the data is sensor data to be managed by itself or another distributed data processing server. If a result of the identification is the sensor data to be managed by another distributed data processing server, the data is transferred to the distributed data processing server (DDS-), which corresponds to the home server of the sensor data, based on setting of the directory server (DRS).
