OASiS: A Programming Framework for Service-Oriented Sensor Networks

Overview Wireless sensor networks consist of small, inexpensive devices which interact with the environment, communicate with each other, and perform distributed computations in order to monitor spatio-temporal phenomena. These devices are ideally suited for a variety of applications including object tracking, environmental monitoring, and homeland security. OASiS uses a well-defined model of computation based on globally asynchronous locally synchronous dataflow, and is complemented by a user-friendly modeling environment. Applications are realized as graphs of modular services and executed in response to the detection of physical phenomena.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: A sea of bits

Then of course we have the sensor networks built into our transport, utility supply, infrastructure, climate monitoring and other systems. What a drop in price and physical size - two parallel drives instead of five.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: RFID - what can it do for the business?

In IBM's sensor and actuator cross-functional group, which incorporates RFID, solutions are defined on problem areas that a customer organisation will identify with - the tracking, auditing and monitoring of valuable business or individual assets.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
