To build the service-oriented applications in a wireless sensor network (WSN), the workflow can be utilized to compose a set of atomic services and execute the corresponding pre-designed processes. In general, WSN applications rely closely on the sensor data which are usually inaccurate or even incomplete in the resource-constrained WSN. Then, the erroneous sensor data will affect the execution of atomic services and furthermore the workflows, which form an important part in the bottom-to-up dynamics of WSN applications. In order to alleviate this issue, it is necessary to manage the workflow hierarchically. However, the hierarchical workflow management remains an open and challenging problem. In this paper, by adopting the Bloom filter as an effective connection between the sensor node layer and the upper application layer, a hierarchical workflow management approach is proposed to ensure the QoS of workflow-based WSN application . The case study and experimental evaluations demonstrate the capability of the proposed approach.
