Sensor and Computing Infrastructure for Environmental Risks: The SCIER System
Abstract
The SCIER platform is an integrated system of networked sensors and distributed computing facilities, aiming to detect and monitor a hazard, predict its evolution and assist the authorities in crisis management for hazards occurring at Wildlife Urban Interface (WUI) areas. The goal of SCIER is to make the vulnerable WUI zone safer for the citizens and protect their lives and property from environmental risks. To achieve its objective, SCIER integrates technologies such as: (1) wireless sensor networks for the detection and monitoring of disastrous natural hazards, (2) advanced sensor data fusion and management for accurately monitoring the dynamics of multiple interrelated risks, (3) environmental risk models for simulating and predicting the evolution of hazardous phenomena using Grid-computing. In this chapter we present the key software components of the SCIER system architecture, namely the sensor data fusion component and the predictive modeling and simulation component.
