A method, system, and computer program product for receiving distributed sensor based content from content producers in data processing networks. A sensor services controller (SSC) utility manages the processes involved with connecting content producers and consumers through a set of interfaces of a Services Oriented Architecture. The set of interfaces include interfaces for publishing, finding and paying for content created by distributed sensor platform devices. For example, a query interface allows consumers of content to submit content requests to content producers. The SSC utility enables a sensor platform device to expose the device's capabilities to a sensor services controller through a standard “sensor device” interface. Sensor device capabilities include geophysical location (GPS coordinates), digital imaging sensors (optical, infrared, etc.), movement and orientation data (gyroscopic and accelerometer readings). Based on a set of conditions within the consumer's request, the producer acquires and returns the requested content to the consumer.
