In January 2009, the ERCIM News published an article on use of SANY/SensorSA and Sensor Web Enablement in Environmental Risk Management Applications.

Emerging technology in risk monitoring and management has the potential to speed up the necessary organizational and structural changes. Ad hoc wireless sensor networks and the collective intelligence of the Sensor Web; the plug-and-measure paradigm of IEEE 1451 smart sensors; the Semantic Web; and the OGC Sensor Web Enablement architecture: all these address critical factors of the state-of-the-art technology. However, none of the currently available and emerging technologies offers rapid deployment, easy maintenance, quality assurance and automated data processing along the whole information processing chain from smart sensors and wireless ad hoc sensor networks, over automated data loggers and value-added middleware services, to user applications capable of dynamically integrating all available data sources at run time.
