CEIT San Sebastian (Spain) Type of organisation: Research Institute Specialising in: (among others) Environmental Engineering & Microelectronics and Microsystems – –Wastewater Treatment Systems – –Waste Solid Treatment Systems – –Integrated Water Management More specifically: – –Mathematical Modelling and Simulation-based Software Tools for improving the design and operation of Water Systems – –Instrumentation, Control and Automation of Processes – –Application of Information & Communication Technologies for development of Remote Monitoring Software tools for Supervision and Diagnosis of Water and Waste Treatment Systems In-house capacity: Staff of 149 (77 of which hold a PhD Degree) and 96 Phd Students TEWS Info Day, 31 Jan 2006, Paris - Physical Microsystems - Biochemical Microsystems - Optoelectronic Microsystems

2. Potential Interest/Contribution to TEWS Development of a software architecture for remote monitoring and storage of well-structured data. Connecting data with data analysis tools (statistical or mathematical modelling-based tools, knowledge-based decision support tools,…) in order to facilitate quick diagnosis and generation of early warnings. Development of new low-power microsensor systems, integrated in deep-sea buoys or cables, to enhance Tsunami detection.
