Wireless Sensor Network Module | CAAD. Blog. CAAD – Embeddedlab Wireless Sensor Network Module is a remote control system based on Arduino, Ethernet W5100 and RFM12 wireless module. It is a cooperative project between the Embedded Lab of CAAD of ETH and the CAAD of Southeast University in China. We are trying to design a low cost, highly adaptable and modular remote control system which could be applied to smart building system.

At present, we are still dealing with the prototypes of the hardware, and we have just realized the basic communication among the nodes and the remote terminal. This system consists of three major parts. The first one is the Arduino Web Server which allows the access form the Internet. With the help of Arduino Web Server, you can access the system easily by opening a browser on your PC or smart phone. The server consists of five parts:{*style:<br>*} Arduino Mega 1280{*style:<br>*} RTC module{*style:<br>*} Ethernet shield{*style:<br>*} SD card shield{*style:<br>*} RFM12 shield. The CLOUDS Lab: Flagship Projects - Gridbus and Cloudbus. Introduction The SensorWeb project aims at developing Open SensorWeb Architecture (OSWA) and implementing standards compliant platform and middleware for integration of sensor networks with emerging distributed computing platforms such as Grids.

It confirms to Web Services standard defined by the W3C (World-Wide Web) and SensorML (Sensor Model Language) standard defined by the OpenGeospatial Consortium. This integration of sensor networks with Grid computing brings out dual benefits: (i) sensor networks can off-load heavy processing activities to the Grid and (ii) Grid-based sensor applications can provide advance services for smart-sensing by deploying scenario-specific operators at runtime. Our Open SensorWeb Architecture consists of four layers: sensor fabric layer, core services, user-level services, and applications. The OSWA-based platform provides a number of sensor and actuation services, such as: Team Members and Collaborators University of Melbourne - Current: Publications. Opensense. Nano-Tera.ch.

A few days ago I was granted access to the closed beta of Open.Sense.se is an open platform for all those who want to imagine, prototype and test new Devices, Installations, Scenarios, Applications for this globally interconnected and immersive world. Designers, developers, tinkerers, students, hobbyists, R&D departments, artists, self quantifiers, dataviz maniacs, whatever your skills are, we tried to make Open.Sen.se easy to use and yet powerful for you. A site which main focus is to turn all your data into something usable and useful. You can input all kinds of data. In the figure below, you can see which kind of manual data you can enter: Manual Input in Sen.se Beside manual information, you can also add channels that automatically sends information to Sense.se. Channels in Sen.se As you can see, the available channels are still limited. Making a connecting with Cosm could be interesting, however, I did not succeed in doing so. Cosm Twitter Sense Startpage.

OpenSense. We are part of the ​OpenSense research project which is funded by ​Nano-Tera. OpenSense aims at investigating community-based sensing using wireless sensor network technology to monitor air pollution. The project receives regular attention in both national and international media. Please refer to our media section for a list of articles. OpenSense Project Overview ¶ Wireless sensor networks and publishing of sensor data on the Internet bear the potential to substantially increase public awareness and involvement in environmental sustainability. Modeled ultrafine particle concentrations for Zurich based on the OpenSense measurements of one year (from left to right: spring, summer, fall, winter). Challenges that are not well addressed today: Dealing with the heterogeneity and widely varying characteristics of the sensor equipment, measurements and data analysis. Air pollution monitoring is exceptionally suited to study these challenges as they are particularly pronounced in this scenario.
