The Swiss Experiment Platform (generally known as Swiss Experiment or SwissEx) A platform to enable real-time environmental experiments through wireless sensor networks and a common, modern, generic cyber-infrastructure. This infrastructure will be used to enable interdisciplinary environmental research, allowing scientists to work efficiently and collaboratively to find the key mechanisms in the triggering of natural hazards and to efficiently distribute the information to increase public awareness.
The Swiss Experiment Platform aims to develop innovative hardware and software technologies and implement them for collaborative environmental research.
SwissEx Platform development can be split into two separate topics
Software infrastructure: An integrated, generic metadata and data storage solution with advanced metadata-based data manipulation and tagging (openly available for public use).
New sensor and network technology: Self organising sensor networks with advanced in-network processing solutions and the development of existing sensors to take advantage of the latest in technology.
Experimental data and national operational network data will be integrated into the infrastructure as widely as possible to provide the basis for a collaborative data infrastructure, with the aim of it eventually becoming self-perpetuating. The resulting database will be used not only for environmental research purposes, but also for a specific environmental education programme, which will also utilise the hardware products of SwissEx.
SwissEx Science provides a particular usecase scenario which aims to use the novel hardware and software technologies to enable improved hazard warning techniques. The main focus of this project is to provide localised extreme wind and precipitation assessments through precipitation forecasts and national forecast data, modified in real-time by in-situ measurements.
The technologies within Swiss Experiment are not only available to SwissEx partners. Although we cannot provide a great deal of support to external projects, we actively welcome you to use the infrastructure described in this wiki (which we have tried to keep as open as possible) and benefit from what we have produced. We also welcome external queries about the sensor technology based projects.
SwissEx is the supporting platform for all environmental research projects of the ETH domain funded by CCES. The majority of the SwissEx funding comes from CCES and MICS.
Paper published on a new sensor for measuring sensible heat flux.
Some of the SwissEx partners have recently published a paper at IEEE SAS on a new sensor for the measurement on sensible heat flux. ……… Posted by Ndawes in SwissEx Admin on 10 May 2012.
Further improvements - Data queries for non-registered users.
Improvements to the wiki metadata entry continue: observation/invalid data forms now pre-filled based on the user's entry point; and multiple photo uploads possible by just clicking on 'upload' for each photo. In addition to this, it is now possible for non-registered users to query data via the wiki. We apologise if the wiki is slow whilst we make these changes. The changes are necessary in order to facilitate more fundamental changes which will enhance the user experience. ……… Posted by Ndawes in Wiki admin blog on 23 February 2012.
