SANY Sensors Anywhere

GEOSS has the objective to continuously monitor the state of the earth in order to increase knowledge and understanding of our planet and its processes. Being a system of system, GEOSS has to master the challenge of integrating heterogeneous systems across institutional and political boundaries. Timely delivery of earth observation data is a key aspect in identifying potential natural and human threats, such as tornados, tsunamis, wild fires, or algae blooms.

Data from in-situ or remote sensing devices forms the basis for analyzing gradual processes, such as increasing drought, water shortages, or rising sea levels. The Sensor Web presents a paradigm in which the Internet is evolving into an active sensing macro instrument. Based on internationally adopted standards, the Sensor Web accomplishes the necessary requirements to ensure interoperability among its various components. Sensor Web software components and services work interactively in arbitrary application domains.

This is the next SANY Training Event, organized by OGCE. It provides a great opportunity to meet interesting people in the Sensor Web context.

The Workshop is jointly organized by GEO-Task DA07-04 and the European Commission through two integrated projects focussing on in-situ sensor networks: SANY (http://sany-ip.eu) and OSIRIS (http://www.osiris-fp6.eu).
