==== ""Libelium"": New Wireless Sensor Board Enables Extreme Precision Agriculture in Vineyards and Greenhouses ====
**{[[http://www.libelium.com/applications/Environment Libelium]]}**
(June 2010)
Libelium, a technology leader in wireless sensor networks, announces a new Agriculture Sensor board for its Waspmote platform. The new board enables up to fourteen environmental parameters to be monitored in a wireless sensor network. This sophisticated monitoring brings extreme precision to crop growing in vineyards and greenhouses by enabling irrigation and climate control to be matched to local conditions. **[[[http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory/Wireless-Sensor-Board-enables-precise-agriculture-execution-579025 18]]]**
Honeywell�s OneWireless Network is a rugged, industrial-grade network composed of industrial wireless access, called multinodes, that self-discover to create a redundant, self-healing mesh network. This single multi-protocol, multi-standard wireless network communicates simultaneously with Wi-Fi devices and industrial I/O devices. **[[[http://hpsweb.honeywell.com/Cultures/en-US/Products/wireless/SecondGenerationWireless/default.htm 9]]]**

==== ""Stanford University"": Laptops as Earthquake Sensors ====
**{[[ Standford University]]/ [[http://pangea.stanford.edu/~jfl77/ Prof J. Lawrence]]}**
Earthquake researchers in California hope to take advantage of the motion sensors in laptops to create an earthquake-sensing network. By putting computers in homes and businesses to work as seismic monitors, the researchers hope to pull together a wealth of information on major quakes, and perhaps even offer early warnings, giving a few seconds' notice of a potentially devastating quake. **The Quake Catcher Network (QCN)** is in the beta testing stage, with links to several hundred laptops. **[[[http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/20658/ 1]]]**
==== ""ETHZ"" Permasense: Wireless Sensing in High Alpine Environment ====
**{[[http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/ ETHZ-Computer engineering ]]/ [[http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~thiele/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Site/Home Prof. Dr. Lothar Thiele]]}**
In a joint computer science and geoscience project we have built and deployed a wireless sensor network for measuring permafrost related parameters. The project [[http://www.permasense.ch/ PermaSense]] aims at developing and demonstrating a flexible, distributed wireless sensor network (WSN) adapted to geophysical sensors with reliable and high-quality measurement systems for extreme environmental conditions. **[[[http://www.permasense.ch/ 2]]]**
**Prof Thiele** is also involved in Nano-Tera Project: **[[XSense Monitoring Alpine Mass Movements at Multiple Scales]]**
==== ""Selex"" : Wireless Sensor Network with Self Organization Capabilities for critical and emergency application====
**{[[http://www.selex-comms.com/ SELEX]]/ Paolo Capodieci - Winsoc Project Coordinator}**
Wireless sensor networks are currently receiving huge attention as a basic tool to detect emergency events or monitor physical parameters of interest, such as radiation, pollution, temperatures, pressures, and so on.
The key idea of WINSOC is the development of a totally innovative design methodology, mimicking biological systems, where the high accuracy and reliability of the whole sensor network is achieved through a proper interaction among nearby, low cost, sensors. **[[[http://www.winsoc.org/ 3]]]**
==== ""Hewlett Packard"" : plan to build a "central nervous system for the planet"====
**{[[http://www.hpl.hp.com Hewlett Packard Research]]/ [[http://www.hpl.hp.com/people/stan_williams/ Dr. Stan Williams]] - HP Director of Information and Quantum Systems Laboratory}**
Hewlett Packard is up to two years away from starting to build a "central nervous system for the Earth", known as **CeNSE**. "The motivation for this work is realising and understanding the planet is sick and the disease is us," Dr Williams told BBC News.
"As information technology people, we are not going to be the ones who prescribe and administer the cure but we should be the people who provide the information required to do proper diagnosis and treatment."
Dr Williams suggested that, instead of wielding a stethoscope, HP would use trillions of sensors to monitor the health of the Earth and use the information to head off natural calamities such as large scale flooding or wildfires.

==== ""DUST Networks"" : a city infrastructure====
**{[[http://www.dustnetworks.com/ DUST Networks]]/[[http://www.dustnetworks.com/about/management Kris Pister]] - Founder and Chief Technologist}**
Reliable, easy to deploy, and built with the priorities of cities and citizens in mind, Streetline Networks is leading the way in the development of intelligent infrastructure solutions for urban areas. The Streetline solution is a complete information system designed specifically for applications in urban resource management. The platform integrates ultra low power sensing with Web-based solutions that optimize the use of city assets, in this case parking spaces. **[[[http://www.dustnetworks.com/applications/urban_infrastructure 7]]]**
==== ""Honeywell Sensing and Control"" : Wireless sensor networks can address industrial, economic, and societal issues====
**{[[http://www51.honeywell.com/honeywell/ Honeywell Sensing and Control]] / Beth Wozniak, president}**
Wozniak said the growing use of wireless sensors-and the increasing trend toward connecting multiple sensors on Internet-based networks-is creating an environment in which sensing technology is pervasive, and that "world of interconnected sensors," will produce tremendous industrial, environmental, economic, and societal benefits.
"These emerging smart sensor technologies will be able to help meet many of the most important technical, economic and social challenges our society faces today-including energy conservation, health care, transportation safety, and natural disaster response," Wozniak declared. **[[[http://www.mbtmag.com/article/279047-Wireless_sensor_networks_can_address_industrial_economic_and_societal_issues.php 8]]]**
**OneWireless Network:**
Honeywell’s OneWireless Network is a rugged, industrial-grade network composed of industrial wireless access, called multinodes, that self-discover to create a redundant, self-healing mesh network. This single multi-protocol, multi-standard wireless network communicates simultaneously with Wi-Fi devices and industrial I/O devices. **[[[http://hpsweb.honeywell.com/Cultures/en-US/Products/wireless/SecondGenerationWireless/default.htm 9]]]**

I.B.M. trotted out its “smarter planet” campaign more than a year ago, starting with a speech by Samuel J. Palmisano, I.B.M.’s chief executive, at the Council on Foreign Relations. At the time, the campaign seemed an ambitious, though potentially risky, move. The vision of transportation, health care, cities, retailing, finance and other fields made more intelligent with digital technology — and yes, supplied largely by I.B.M. — could have easily fizzled and been portrayed as big-think puffery, out of step with an economy in a tailspin. **[[[http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/big-blues-smarter-marketing-playbook/?scp=1&sq=wireless%20sensor%20network&st=Search 10, NYT]]]**, **[[[http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/?ca=fv0906&me=feature2&re=lml1 11, IBM Smarter Planet]]]**
==== ""IBM"" : Complex real-time environmental monitoring of the Hudson River and estuary system====
**{[[http://www.ibm.com/ IBM]]}**
Multiparameter and multiscale real-time environmental monitoring of a river and estuary system will be realized through the River and Estuary Observatory Network (REON) for the Hudson River in New York.
We describe a system under development that provides a holistic view of this complex and dynamic natural environment for scientific research, education, management, and environmental policy-related applications. The system incorporates
a complex array of sensor technologies encompassing the physical, chemical, and biological measurement domains. REON supports Lagrangian, Eulerian, and autonomous robot sensor deployments, as well as flexible telemetry options through an open and consistent middleware architecture with advanced device management capabilities. **[[[http://documents.epfl.ch/groups/n/na/nano-tera/www/IBM_WSN_Complex_real-time.pdf 12]]]**

Project out these trends another ten years. You will be carrying with you, 24x7 (a recent study of Chinese mobile customers showed that the majority of them sleep within a meter of their phones), a very powerful, always connected, sensor-rich device. And the cool thing is, so will everyone else. So what are you going to do with it that you aren't doing now? **[[[http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/future-of-mobile.html 13]]]**
==== ""Apples"" : The iPhone's Untapped Potential====
Apple is known for its innovative gadget design, and with the release of the iPhone, it continues to live up to its hype. But while people are fawning over features like the smart, multitouch screen and the advanced Web browser, there is important technology under the hood that will likely go underappreciated. The iPhone has tiny, powerful sensors--an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor, and an infrared sensor--that are able to pick up cues from the environment and adjust the phone's functions accordingly.
A sensor-enabled phone could feasibly help monitor your exercise habits, keep track of an elderly relative's activities, and let your friends and family know if you're available for a call or instant-messaging conversation. It could even provide insight into social networks.**[[[http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/18990/page1/ 14]]]**
==== ""MIT"" : Reality Mining, using data gathered by cell phones to learn about human behavior. ====
**{[[http://www.media.mit.edu/ MIT, Media Labs ]] / [[http://www.media.mit.edu/people/sandy Sandy ­Pentland]]}**
Every time you use your cell phone, you leave behind a few bits of information. The phone pings the nearest cell-phone towers, revealing its location. Your service provider records the duration of your call and the number dialed.
Some people are nervous about trailing digital bread crumbs behind them. Sandy ­Pentland, however, revels in it. In fact, the MIT professor of media arts and sciences would like to see phones collect even more information about their users, recording everything from their physical activity to their conversational cadences.

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, hope that drivers with GPS-enabled smart phones will help them gather more-accurate and up-to-date traffic data. Starting Monday, volunteers in the San Francisco Bay Area and around Sacramento will be invited to participate in a pilot program by downloading software that tracks their movements and transmits this information, via the phone network, back to a server at the university. In return, the volunteers will receive personalized traffic information on their cell phones. **[[[http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/21658/ 16, Tech Review]]]**, **[[[http://traffic.berkeley.edu/index.html 17, Berkley]]]**

===={{color text="INTRODUCTION" c="#000000"}}""""====
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants.
They are now used in many industrial and civilian application areas, including industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, environment and habitat monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation, and traffic control
It can be applied in different sectors such as:
**Healthcare monitoring** : see [[BodyMonitoring Body Health Monitoring]]
**Environmental monitoring**
**Agriculture**: such as sensing moisture in soil and fertilizer absorption
**Ocean**: a sensor-based monitoring to halt spread of invasive species in certain region (Great reef, etc)
**Transportation**: great benefits if all cars become wireless sensor platforms, with GPS, road monitoring,
weather sensors, and proximity sensors for traffic, for exemple.
**Industrial Monitoring**
** Oil and Gas monitoring**


In the Environmental Monitoring itself, there is a great number of applications as you can read below.

**Healthcare monitoring** : see [[BodyMonitoring Body Health Monitoring]]
**Environmental monitoring**
**Agriculture**: such as sensing moisture in soil and fertilizer absorption
**Ocean**: a sensor-based monitoring to halt spread of invasive species in certain region (Great reef, etc)
**Transportation**: great benefits if all cars become wireless sensor platforms, with GPS, road monitoring,
weather sensors, and proximity sensors for traffic, for exemple.
**Industrial Monitoring**
** Oil and Gas monitoring**
