Nano-Tera: OpenSense (2011)

Karl Aberer of LSIR-EPFL
OpenSense will address key research challenges in the domain of information and communication systems related to community-based sensing using wireless sensor network technology in the context of air pollution monitoring:
- Reducing noise and data volume of heterogeneous sensor data by exploiting redundancies derived from complex environmental processes. Previous approaches only treated very regular sensor configurations and simple processes.
- Performing real-time data gathering with heterogeneous and mobile sensors and intermittent connectivity, in particular in urban environments.
- Compiling numerical models of complex spatial processes into qualitative approximations that can be used for efficient signal processing and sensor interpretation.
- Sharing measurement and model data through an open community platform in a trusted and fair environment, providing security against manipulation and faulty data.
