Live Geography - Interoperable Geo-Sensor Webs Enabling Portability in Monitoring Applications

摘要

In the last decade, rapidly declining sensor costs triggered intense research in sensor technologies and vice versa. This fact led to the deployment of a number of sensor networks. However, these sensor networks tend to be deployed in monolithic stovepipe-like systems, limiting interoperability and reusability of both data and workflow components. This paper presents the Live Geography approach, which stands for the integration of real-time measurement data in a fully standardised infrastructure. A particular focus of this paper is dedicated to interoperable geo-sensor webs featuring a high degree of flexibility and portability can be deployed in various monitoring use cases in a variety of application domains.
