THE SENSOR WEB ALLIANCEA number of organisations are doing their own sensor web research. We are developing a collaborative research platform called the Sensor Web Alliance (SWA). The aim is to pool resources in the SWA, coordinate research and allow participating organisations to share IP, which will spread risk and lower the cost of entry.The Sensor Web Alliance is a community of researchers involved in various aspects of Sensor Web research and development. Membership of the alliance is open to anybody with a keen interest in the Sensor Web concept. BENEFITS OF JOINING THE SENSOR WEB ALLIANCEJoining the Sensor Web Alliance will have major benefits for any organisation involved in Sensor Web research: it is a mechanism for achieving critical research mass through collaborative research with local and international partners. The Alliance's integrated science plan will spread research across its membership, which will facilitate access to funding, and strengthen local and global science networks. Other benefits for members include sharing IP and community of practice.THE SENSOR WEB CONCEPTAdvances in sensor technology and distributed computing, coupled with the development of open standards that facilitate sensor/sensor network interoperability, are contributing to the emergence of a phenomenon known as the 'Sensor Web'. This phenomenon can be described as an advanced Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) in which different sensors and sensor networks are combined to create a sensor-rich feedback control paradigm.(read more) SENSOR WEB WORKSHOPSWorkshop 2009 was a great success! Please find all presentations given at the workshop here.The presentations given at the workshop 2009 are now online! The workshop took take place 21-22 May 2009, around 50km north of Tokyo in Tsukuba Science City. Please find some more information here and the official invitation here (will follow Dec 16)! Detailed transportation information is available here.Two workshops have been conducted in 2007 and 2008. The first one (read more)
