ABSTRACT
The present trends of today often demand an increasing need for an extensive
and directed information flow. This flow of information includes a fundamen-
tal understanding that sensors have to produce specific data to be delivered at
the required time and in an acceptable quality to the user in order to be updated
and be useful. There is a probable foresighted scenario that in the future, will
the amount of requested information be highly competitive, delivered on time
and attain high enough quality. The sensor system will then also emphasise on
the dynamical and intelligent properties that will actively search for the requested
information and communicate to symbiotic units, e.g., an individual. The proper
planning and effective control of a sensor system, that provides essential and
requested information at the proper time of delivery, is an absolute condition to
achieve a smooth interaction. A proper interaction between the user and the units
that collect the required information, is a critical transference necessity to perform
a real-time integration system between the information collecting sensor level and
the information integrating system level in order to achieve the best possible use
of information in decisions. Therefore, the need for a generic model approach is
obvious.
