NASA to Fund Sensor Projects

NASA announced the awards for the Earth Applications Advanced Information Systems Technology (AIST) Program. Ninety-nine proposals offered explorations into smart sensing, sensor web communications and enabling model interactions in sensor webs. Twenty-eight projects were selected for approximately $31 million in funding, over a period of three years.

Several of the proposals include work to enhance existing OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) efforts including those of:

Mike Botts, University of Alabama at Huntsville, Huntsville, AL
Increasing the Technology Readiness of SensorML for Sensor Webs

Liping Di, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
A General Framework and System Prototypes for the Self-Adaptive Earth Predictive Systems (SEPS)--Dynamically Coupling Sensor Web with Earth System Models

Michael Goodman, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Hunstville, AL
Sensor Management for Applied Research Technologies (SMART) - On-Demand Modeling

Other projects may also include OGC related work.
