Abstract

[The Sensor Web is a relatively new class of information system that pro vides a continuous, embedded monitoring presence. By synthesizing collected temporal information over large spatial areas, the Sensor Web obtains environmen tal self-awareness and literally becomes a thinking presence within the environ ment. This new approach is transforming the way we explore, monitor and manage environments and is impacting many fields, including hydrology, agriculture and ecology, as well as disaster risk reduction.]
