Who's going to link Sensors, Systems, and Analysis for better Situational Awareness

How does the gap between sensors, systems and analysis get filled?

by MATT BALL on MARCH 25, 2011
The idea of networked sensors informing systems for intelligent infrastructure to improve efficiency has been a topic of coverage here for a while, and it’s reaching a whole new mainstream momentum. Of course, much of this is due to the push of one high-profile vendor, with a sustained advertising campaign that promotes smarter water, smarter transportation, smarter cities, and a smarter planet. But, who doesn’t want to be smarter?
There are plenty of opportunities for a broad application of sensors and systems to improve efficiency, and many of these are in the traditional geospatial markets. Will geospatial technology form an important integration role between systems and sensors, and provide a means to gain insight from all the data? There is certainly that potential.
