CAREER: Bridging the Gaps Using Field-To-Base Systems

这项工作将提供一个综合电子基础设施，作为跨越许多边界传输信息的催化剂。这一职业努力的合作伙伴包括美国、日本和非洲的大学。该计划寻求开发一个实时数据收集、集成和管理系统，以监测自由活动的黑猩猩，以达到保护目的。将开发新的非侵入性技术来获得黑猩猩的生理状态。数据将由掌上电脑上的移动手持模块以标准格式捕获。该软件与全球定位系统相连。坦桑尼亚实地的模块将从弗吉尼亚州的数据库下载、存储和提供服务。该服务器将支持网络，既可以传播信息，也可以作为教育计划的基础，该计划涉及多个层次的学生。

The work will provide an integrated electronic infrastructure that will act as a catalyst for the transmission of information across many boundaries. Collaborating partners in this CAREER effort include universities within the US, in Japan and in Africa. The program seeks to develop a real-time data collection, integration and management system to monitor free-ranging chimpanzees for conservation purposes. Novel non-invasive techniques will be developed to obtain the physiological status of the chimpanzees. Data will be captured by mobile handheld modules on PDAs in standardized formats. The software is linked to a global positioning system. Modules in the field in Tanzania will be downloaded, stored, and served from a database in Virginia. The server will be web-enabled, to both disseminate information and be the basis of an education program, which involves students across many levels.
