=====Monitoring Alpine Mass Movements at Multiple Scales=====
{{image url="http://www.nano-tera.ch/images/uploads/414/xsense.jpg" title="text" alt="text"}}
It is well known that the global climate change dramatically influenced the visual appearance of mountain areas like the European Alps. Some very destructive geological processes will be triggered or intensified which influence the stability of slopes and may induce landslides. Unfortunately, the interaction between these complex processes is poorly understood.
The project X-Sense intends to perform research in this application context and has the following aims:
* Develop wireless sensing technology as a new scientific instrument for environmental sensing under extreme conditions in terms of temperature variations, humidity, mechanical forces, snow coverage as well as unattended operation that are needed for long-term deployment.
* Integrate various sensing dimensions (such as pressure, humidity, crevice movements, highprecision deformation and movements) in terms of sensing and processing hardware, software and sensor fusion algorithms.
* Extend the spatial scope from local (microscopic) measurements to large scale information based on satellite radar remote sensing and fuse the resulting information to achieve an unparalleled degree of precision in space, time and accuracy.
* When you are bored and want to have some fun you better play some [[http://www.jocurile.us/cat-jocuri-barbie.htm jocuri barbie]] or if you think this are to girly for you then try some awesome [[http://www.jocurile.us/cat-jocuri-cu-masini.htm jocuri cu masini]] and race high speed cars, also you can play [[http://www.jocurile.us/joaca/jocuri-fotbal.html jocuri fotbal]]
* Utilize this new measurement technology to advance applications in science and society: geophysical research and early warning against landslides and rock-fall, thereby securing people in their homes, during recreational activities, in public transportation and cars.
Research and development of the following advanced sensing technologies and their system-level integration via systems and software engineering will be at the core of the project:
(a) Model-based design to ensure dependable operation in a highly resource-constraint setting.
(b) Optimized use of harvested solar energy through energy-efficient algorithms and long-term reward maximization.
(c) Multiobjective optimization of the multi-processor hardware platforms.
(d) Advanced differential GPS sensing for high-precision movement detection.
(e) Development of sensor fusion algorithms combining different classes of sensors with high spatial granularity and satellite-scale x-ray images.
All these activities will be guided by thorough geophysical modeling and simulation as well as by demands from early warning scenarios. The project has the clear objective to develop a technology demonstrator during its run-time that integrates the new technologies into the application field and attracts high public visibility.
