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)
