Our vision is to realize the World-Wide Sensor Web. Our research focuses on researching and developing the missing algorithms and software for sensor web.
Sensors can be remote or in-situ sensors or human sensors (citizen sensing). We developed a platform, called GeoCENS, to enable users to share and use world-wide sensors; we also develop another platform, called TrafficPulse, which is a mobile social network harnessing citizen sensors for traffic applications (e.g., traffic monitoring, accident detection, icy road detection, etc.)
Congrats to Alec for his journal paper published in IJGI.
AHS Model: Efficient Topological Operators for a Sensor Web Publish/Subscribe System The Worldwide Sensor Web has been applied for monitoring the physical world with spatial and temporal scales that were impossible in the past. With the development of sensor technologies and interoperable open standards, sensor webs generate tremendous volumes of priceless data, enabling scientists…
