ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a novel integrated network architecture that is flexible and scalable because it can integrate heterogeneous wireless networks, such as wireless sensor networks (WSN) with the traditional wired grid infrastructure, achieving to deal with the unresolved issues. The main advantages from the usage of a geographical information systems (GIS) are based on the creation of a cost-effective infrastructure and on a rapid data collection in real time from geographically disperse areas that are supported by digital media such as WSNs. The chapter demonstrates the integration features and handles the dynamic sensor data into a sensor grid implementation. The uninterrupted monitoring of a remote location has resulted in the generation of tremendous amount of sensed data, which have to be elaborated in a short-time period. The chapter analyzes the technological requirements of a geo-infrastructure. It develops a framework that provides resources coordination. The chapter discusses the application of the proposed implementation and methodologies developing the interoperable environmental protection system.
