The Sensor Web, Web-based Geoprocessing, and Simulation Lab (SWSL) is a competence center for geosensor networks and distributed geoprocessing at the Institute for Geoinformatics (IFGI) of the University of Münster, Germany.
Our research is focused on the building blocks of the geosensor web and geoprocessing. The goal of the geosensor web is to make all different kinds of sensors discoverable, accessible and taskable over the internet. Therefore, we are contributing to the different aspects of the sensor web including:
- event processing techniques
- middleware concepts for geosensor networks
- algorithmic approaches for geosensor data fusion
- web services enabling the sensor web including discovery of sensors
Besides, our distributed geoprocessing activities focus on:
- standards for geoprocessing services
- service orchestration and geoprocessing workflows
- grid computing technologies
