All -
I thought you might be interested in the following Emerging
Technology Summit on Sensor Webs/Nets. This is in line with some of the recent
discussions in this TC on the role of sensors and location aware devices. The
announcement can be found at:
Basic information is:
Advancing
the Sensor Web April
14-15, 2005 Washington Hilton Hotel Washington, D.C.
The next
generation of applied sensor technology is emerging: Sensor webs. Sensor
technologies, combined with wireless and Internet technologies, are resulting in
countless location-aware sensors providing near-real-time observations and
measurements of the real world through applications that leverage the power and
scale of the Web. Whether your focus is SCADA, bio-threat monitoring and
response, weather prediction and warning, intelligent transportation systems, or
another sensor-related activity, attend this interactive, 2-day summit and
improve your understanding of sensor networks.
Learn
about the current use, future plans, and challenges regarding the use of sensors
for improved decision-making, planning, and production from leaders in these
sectors:
- Threat detection and
monitoring
- Weather prediction and
warning
- Utilities,
public works, and critical infrastructure
|
- Defense and intelligence
- Intelligent transportation
- Mobile
asset logistics and management

The OGC membership is working with a
number of organizations (IEEE, OASIS, ORNL, NASA, etc) on standards for
describing, discovering, accessing, and tasking sensors as part of a concept we
call "Sensor Web". I believe that this work is synergistic with the work of the
OASIS EM TC.
