                Abstract: 
                In the last years, the demand of embedded systems has been increased. Also, due to the increasing competition among different kind of companies, such as cellular phone, automobiles and industrial automation, the requirements for such systems are getting more complex. However, the data storage and processing techniques, for these environments, are insufficient for the new requirements. In this paper, we develop a model for the integration of real-time database technology with an embedded sensor network systems, to tackle such deficiencies. Coloured Petri nets are the mathematical framework used for the modelling and analysis.
