Exploring Semantic Routed Network for Cyber Infrastructures

本提案旨在为基于传感器数据的网络基础设施设计语义路由网络的算法和协议。该项目将设计支持传感器网络和数据档案中高级资源（数据/服务）发现的技术（协议和算法）。该方案的新颖之处在于能够轻松、自动地发现用于各种任务的传感器。这将使智能网络基础设施中的传感器数据、服务和数据档案易于操作。如果这样的智能网络基础设施可用，许多有用和有趣的基于传感器的应用和网络物理系统将成为可能。该项目的更广泛的ImpactA愿景是通过消除对如何识别和使用有用传感器的设备级理解的需要，增加大气和地球科学传感器数据的潜在用户群体。一旦成功，增加对这些传感器和数据资源的访问将提高科学生产力，并改善有关公用事业和服务的决策。用传感器观察任何现象或收集任何信息都将像搜索互联网、查询数据库一样简单，或者像在互联网上建立一个网络应用程序一样经济。此外，这里开发的技术材料将集成到计算机科学课程的网络和软硬件协同设计。本科生和少数族裔学生将从接触这些新技术中受益

Intellectual MeritThis proposal intends to design algorithms and protocols for a Semantic Routed Network for sensor data based cyber infrastructure. This project will design technologies (protocols and algorithms) that support high-level resource (data/service) discovery in sensor networks and data archives. The novel aspects of this proposal include mechanism for easy and automatic discovery of sensors for variety of tasks. This will enable easy manipulation of sensor data, services and data archives in an intelligent cyber infrastructure. Many useful and interesting sensor based applications and cyber physical systems would be possible if such an intelligent cyber infrastructure is available.Broader ImpactA vision of this project is to increase the potential user community for atmospheric and earth science sensor data by removing the need of device level understanding about how to identify useful sensors and use them. When successful, the increased access to these sensors and data resources will enhance scientific productivity and improve decision making regarding public utilities and services. Observing any phenomena or collecting any information with sensors will be as easy as searching the internet, querying a database, or as economical as putting up a web application on the internet. Additionally, the technical material developed here will be integrated in Computer Science courses on Networking, and Hardware-Software Codesign. Undergraduate and minority students will benefit from exposure to these novel technologies
