In 2005, AIST released a solicitation aimed directly at the development of Sensor Web technologies – technologies that can enable the evolution of distributed sensors and components into autonomous, unified networks (webs) of sensors. These technology projects focus on the architecture and development of system building blocks leading to autonomous sensor webs and generally support one of three topic areas:

Smart sensing technologies to enable autonomous event detection and reconfiguration of sensors;

Sensor web communication technologies that can tie systems together, forming an infrastructure of seamless connectivity among all sensors, nodes, and users belonging to the sensor web; and

Technologies to enable model interactions and connect prediction and forecasting models and scientific analysis tools to the sensor web.

AIST has also hosted a series of meetings for principal investigators working on sensor web technologies in order to initiate progress and collaboration toward new sensor web concepts and architectures, and eventual infusion into the Earth science missions and operations.
