Dynamic creation of sensor area networks based on geofenced iot devices

A computer program product for managing a sensor area network, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, wherein the program instructions are executable by a computer, the program instructions comprising:
• in response to receiving a geofence trigger event from an Internet of Things device, program instructions to determine whether to add the Internet of Things device to a sensor area network of Internet of Things devices within a geofenced area based on a validation technique;
• in response to determining to add the Internet of Things device, program instructions to update the sensor area network with information associated with the Internet of Things device;
• and
• program instructions to enable sharing of information within the sensor area network between member devices of the sensor area network and the Internet of Things device.

A computer system for managing a sensor area network, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising:
• in response to receiving a geofence trigger event from an Internet of Things device, program instructions to determine whether to add the Internet of Things device to a sensor area network of Internet of Things devices within a geofenced area based on a validation technique;
• in response to determining to add the Internet of Things device, program instructions to update the sensor area network with information associated with the Internet of Things device;
• and
• program instructions to enable sharing of information within the sensor area network between member devices of the sensor area network and the Internet of Things device.
