    • Sensor network interoperability
    • Sensor network self-organisation and network management

    Description

    Significant uncontrolled development in sensor devices, -protocols and –networks is occurring in the areas of air and water quality and management, with a focus also on impacts on health and human exposure. It is well accepted that monitoring of our planet is done by sensors put into the orbit. However, for surface monitoring we lack the interconnectivity of both in-situ and remote sensing devices to properly monitor systems and link to interoperable information systems. One reason for this is the lack of a sensor network infrastructure generic enough to support this interoperability and interconnectivity. This workshop will explore aspects of creating robust sensor networks and further develop architectures and infrastructure to support this.
