CRI: IAD Infrastructure for Environmental Monitoring and Modeling using Large-Scale Sensor Networks

提案号：CNS 07-09285PI(s): Huang, Yan Acevedo, Miguel F.；傅,胜利;李,Xinrong;题目：IAD：使用大规模传感器网络的环境监测和建模基础设施项目建议：该项目旨在开发一个公开可用的环境监测计算机研究基础设施，将开放的传感器网络平台和工具与缠绕在一起的有线和无线传感器和执行器结合起来，以支持计算研究和教育。通过一站式的网络界面，用户将能够在无线传感器网络上进行无线编程，并从数千英里外收集、建模和可视化有关水、土地和空气的实时环境数据。将开发一个信道测量工具箱来捕获无线传感器网络领域的传播特性。广泛的数据，包括射频信号强度和吞吐量，将收集不同的场景。这项工作有助于发展德克萨斯环境观测站（TEO），该观测站建立在并超越了ECOPLEX （DFW MetroPLEX的环境条件在线）。TEO为项目提供了一个真实的测试平台，如果没有大规模环境监测传感器网络和细粒度时空传感器数据的部署，这些项目是不可能实现的。更广泛的影响：基础设施支持即时的跨学科研究和教育项目，包括节能地图插值，强大的定位模型，无线传感器网络合作通信的代码设计，高分辨率近实时环境监测和建模，以及K-12教师/学生建模。

Proposal #: CNS 07-09285PI(s): Huang, Yan Acevedo, Miguel F.; Fu, Shengli; Li, Xinrong; Thompson, RuthanneInstitution: University of North Texas Denton, TX 76203-5250Title: IAD: Infr for Environmental Monitoring and Modeling using Large-Scale Sensor NetworksProject Proposed:This project, developing a publicly available environmental monitoring computer research infrastructure, incorporates open sensor network platforms and tools with intertwined wired and wireless sensors and actuators to support computing research and education. Through the one-stop web interface, users will be able to perform over-the-air programming on the wireless sensor networks and collect, model, and visualize real-time environmental data about water, land, and air from thousands of miles away. A channel measurement toolbox will be developed to capture propagation characteristics for the field of wireless sensor networks. Extensive data, including RF signal strength and throughput, will be collected for different scenaris. The work contributes to develop the Texas Environmental Observatory (TEO) that builds upon and goes beyond the ECOPLEX (Environmental Conditions Online of DFW MetroPLEX). TEO provides a real life testbed for projects that would be impossible without the deployment of large-scale environmental monitoring sensor networks and the fine-grained spatio-temporal sensor data.Broader Impacts: The infrastructure enables immediate interdisciplinary research and education projects that include energy efficient map interpolation, robust localization models, code designs for cooperative communication in wireless sensor networks, high resolution near real time environmental monitoring and modeling, and modeling for K-12 teachers/students.
