 7-9 March 2005     Scripps Institution of Oceanography - San Diego, California USA

 

IT Notes  Day 1:

 

Easily deployable systems

Smart sensors

Lack of spatial/temporal resolution of biological data compared to scales of

 processes

Applications for omni directional camera

 

Remote downloading of full band width data

Stability of data communication under weather influence

Underwater wireless

 

Ability to reconfigure sensors in real time

Assessment of instrumentation status

Automated quality assessment/quality control

 Adaptive sampling (what are the needs for this)

 

Adjustable data schema to automatically accommodate measurement changes

 

Bringing instruments to the grid using web services

 

Standards for interoperability

            Metadata

Policy requiring resource sharing (data, services)

           

Event detection: ability to issue warnings

Visualization technology

Fusing data with simulations

Real time modeling and management

 

Need for personnel with truly interdisciplinary skills (modelers, ecologists, IT)

 

IT development plans

            Use case scenarios to derive requirements

            Actual plans including priorities over various time windows

            Identification of core technologies and services

            Adequate resources (physical, software, people)
