Building Environmental Monitoring Systems with SensorSA

Details

PR - Sensor Service Architecture (SensorSA) developed by SANY IP (www.sany-ip.eu) allows building of complete Environmental Monitoring Networks (EMNs) from standard-compliant components. On February 11th – 12th February 2009, SANY IP will organise a hands-on training for developers and service providers of in-situ Environmental Monitoring Networks.

The training will concentrate on following topics and questions:

    * What is SensorSA, and how is the relationship to OGC Sensor Web Enablement?
    * (How) can OGC SWE services be used in INSPIRE context?
    * Which SensorSA compliant client applications already exist?
    * Discovery of resources (services and data) in a SensorSA compliant network.
    * Modelling of sensor related measurements and meta-information using SensorML and O&M.
    * Integrating sensors and other sensor-like data sources into SensorSA network.
    * How can I extract data from SOS services and use it in my own applications?
    * How can I optimize the data flow and improve quality of service in SensorSA compliant networks?
    * Which security mechanisms are foreseen in SensorSA, and how to use them?

Full training program will be announced in December 2008.

Training participation is free of charge within a limit of available places on a "first come first served" basis. Please follow the link below to register.
