Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Sensor network is a promising tool for collecting information about the real world without human's intervention.
Instead of asking for raw data, query processing is a convenient method to obtain desired information from a sensor network.
In general, people in uerban city are likely to perform a real-world search; they search things related to their daily lives in the real world ranging from straight-forward queries to complex ones.
However, a single sensor network cannot respond to a variety of queries by using its own sensing data.
Currently, each organization deploys sensor networks for their own uses. Each sensor network has many different characteristics such as sensor types, network size, sensing resolution, etc.
In order to realize the real-world searches in urban cities, a collaboration of such heterogeneous sensor networks is a promising solution.
This paper proposes a TomuDB architecture for performing distributed queries in heterogeneous sensor networks.
In order to cope with the real-world searches, heterogeneous sensor networks work collaboratively by forwarding queries to other networks that are likely to answer the queries.
A prototype implementation is presented and the experiments are performed to study the performance of TomuDB architecture in the real-world environment.
