Semantic Sensor Grids for Rapid Development for Environmental Management (SemsorGrid4Env)
SemSorGrid4Env is a €3 million European funded project of which EMU is one of 7 partners. The project began in September 2008 and will last for three years. Its purpose is to write and implement software for a "semantic sensor network for the environment" to enable environmental management of flood and fire - that is, end users would have real time warnings of flood and fire, using flood and fire detection systems.
EMU's contribution to this project is the deployment of wave, tide and current measuring equipment, and the collection of its data for eventual telemetry. EMU's equipment will be deployed in the Portsmouth area of the Solent, south UK. The fire detection equipment will be deployed by one of the Spanish partners, in a Spanish forest.
The SemsorGrid4Env consortium comprises:
- Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Spain, Coordinator)
- University of Manchester (UK)
- National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece)
- University of Southampton (UK)
- Deimos Space (Spain)
- EMU Ltd (UK)
- TechIdeas (Spain)
