NASA AIST Sensor Web PI Meeting II Wrap up Topics Karen Moe Advanced Information Systems Technology Program NASA, Earth Science and Technology Office

April 3, Sensor Web Meeting, Working Group Feedback SS Smart Sensors Use Case Overview Volcano, Ashley D, event alert, EO-1 target, model Soil moisture cal/val, Mahta M, sensor site for cal/val, optimized operation of in situ sensor web Fire/UAVSAR, event alert, UAV flight plan target Glacier water quality, Matt H, event alert, sensor target/reconfigure, power mgmt (2 SW modes) Highlights –Event detection, autonomous target, model –Support flight sensor cal/val –Autonomous flight plans (audience is well informed) –Routine monitoring and response to environment

April 3, Sensor Web Meeting, Working Group Feedback MW1 Model Interop Use Case Overview Smart assimilation, Michael G, obs influence models (autonomously detect event, identify applicable new s/c data, assimilate into model, results) Earthquake, Andrea D, event triggers target, data input to models, results; Volcano, Ice - Andrea, same pattern, using DESDynI, reusing middleware components (obs influence models) Lidar use case, Mike S / Steve T, model influences obs, (uplink model parms to s/c, determine targets to preserve life of instrument); Adaptive targeting to improve prediction (over sensitive regions); Lidar simulation to improve ops concepts (not a use case) Validate Smoke Model, Stefan F, forecast triggers search for available sensor data to refine model output Highlights –Observations influence models –Models influence observation –Observations validate models –Repeatable sensor web patterns, reuse of middleware for different domains (DESDynI - 3 different end products using same middleware)

April 3, Sensor Web Meeting, Working Group Feedback MW2 System Mgmt Use Case Overview Hurricane Workflows, Dan M, chaining sensor web services to support workflow for new domain Coastal Ocean, Payman A/ Andrew G, (weather, climate), data assimilation of in situ measurements w/ QuickSCAT into ROMS model Plant monitoring, Wei Y, routine monitoring (of plant) and autonomous response to environment (rain, day/night) Highlights –Workflow management for products on demand –Repeatable sensor web patterns, reuse of middleware for different domains –Data assimilation of in situ & satellite data into models –Routine monitoring and autonomous response to environment –sensor management (power)

April 3, Sensor Web Meeting, Working Group Feedback Use Case Lessons Learned Identify “collective results” of looking at several use case –Brainstorm ideas for cross-cutting sensor web impacts to new missions Implications for next steps –Engaging end users in developing use cases –Cross cutting PI teams to explore use case “patterns” –Adding “value chain” to Earth science business case –Return on Investment Suggestions on how to promote use cases –Use cases and DVD Provide feedback to ESTO AIST team –Use case session at ESTC? More focus on Decadal Survey –Present details of Decadal Survey

April 3, Sensor Web Meeting, Working Group Feedback Recommendations Suggestions for ESTO next steps –Make use case guides and evaluation tools available on collaboration web site (tutorial, SEI tool for SOA evaluation) Identify specific individuals for sensor web follow up –Create message for specific audience members –Attend Decadal Survey User Group forums (e.g. DESDynI, MIT) How can AIST or info systems in general, influence planning for Decadal Survey missions –Make the case for Data Systems forum for missions, possibly cross-cutting (from science view, e.g. Oceans vs mission view, e.g. DESDynI); work with Martha Maiden, HQ EOSDIS program manager

April 2-3, 2008AIST Sensor Web PI Meeting II7 Suggested Action Plans ESTO Sensor Web poster –Work with Philip Larkin/ESTO for draft by ESTC; brochure (?) Animated presentation or demo movie –Oceanography with Payman et al –Share Stuart’s movie on collaboration web site Possible prototype demo targets & opportunities –GEOSS –Decadal Survey concepts Use of Sensor Web concept outlets –Collaboration web site –Public web site –Contribution to Wikipedia Web Services for Sensor Webs –AGU paper on experience with web services, which protocols & architectures were most effective in which applications, Rob and Karen Monthly Sensor Web technology infusion teleconference forum –TIWG 4th Tuesdays at 2:00 pm eastern –Sensor web technology roadmap

April 2-3, 2008AIST Sensor Web PI Meeting II8 Action Plans Identify future forums for promoting Sensor Webs to the science community (sessions, posters, demos) –AGU Virtual Data Systems, 5/27 –ESTC, 6/24 –IGARSS Earth Observation Sensor Web, 7/7 –ESIP Fed Summer Conference, 7/16 –AIAA Space 2007, 9/08 –AGU 12/08 June 13 deadline –IEEE Aerospace 3/09 Thank You!
