Advancing the interoperability of ocean sensors. Workshop demostration at ocean innovation 2008 congress

Abstract

The aim of this project is to implement a smart sensor worldwide network based on IEEE 1451 family of standards which can provide multiple interoperable clients to access geospatial and sensor data for national local monitoring. This paper presents part of an integrated ocean observing system (IOOS)developed by SARTI research group which offers remotely access via the Web to sensors and sensor networks in Canada, USA and Europe. It also describes the capabilities and functions of such a network and possibilities to access multiple sensor observation and sensors via OGC SWE and IEEE 1451. The architecture of sensor network is based on the IEEE 1451.0.
