SeNDT is a Trinity College Dublin project running real-world pilots using a sensor node for environmental monitoring designed for public authorities, NGOs and/or corporates. Our current pilots involve lake water quality monitoring and road-side noise monitoring.
 |
SeNDT is applying delay tolerant
networking (DTN) technology to fill a niche for sensor nodes that
cannot use more typical networks (e.g. those assuming IP or GSM/SMS
connectivity).
Two of us have written a book about the DTN technology underlying SeNDT. |
Some resources:
Dermot Geraghty is the principal investigator for SeNDT. Prof. Vinny Cahill, Stephen Farrell and Ivor Humphries are the collaborators on the project. Paul McDonald runs our pilots while doing his MSc on noise monitoring. Barbara Hughes is a postdoc in Computer Science who's taken on helping out with Linux kernels etc.
We're all at Trinity College Dublin, some in the Distributed Systems Group within Computer Science, others in Mechanical Engineering. You can get in touch with us as a group by sending a mail to the project mailing list.
Thanks to Enterprise Ireland, who are funding this project under their commercialisation fund - Dev-SeNDT a two-and-a-half year project, which started in June 2005. The project is a continuation of the (also E-I funded) SeNDT project, so we often just refer to SeNDT, rather than the exact project title.
By now, (Dec 2006), we've quite a bit done:
