The Eco-Sensor Network is located at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin.

Researchers from the National Centre for Sensor Research have developed mini-weather stations to keep an eye on conditions inside the Great Palm House, the Cactus House and the Orchid House at the Botanic Gardens. Each of the tiny “mote” sensor-boards has sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, light levels, atmospheric pressure and oxygen levels in the air.

The network of sensors sends real-time environmental data to the interactive website, eco-sensor web. You can take a look at this data on the graphing page.

The Harvard University Sensor Networks Laboratory has made a public release of a TinyOS-based platform for monitoring seismic and acoustic signals. This system was designed initially for geophysical monitoring at active volcanoes, but can be readily adapted to other applications, including civil structures monitoring, CBM, etc.

This release includes both hardware and software as fielded at our deployment at Reventador Volcano in August 2005. We are also making a public release of the seismoacoustic data set acquired by the network over the 19-day, 16-node deployment, which consists of over 500 MBytes of raw data Code, hardware specs, papers, talks, etc. can be found here: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~mdw/proj/volcano.

The Sensors lab at University of Massachusetts, Amherst has made a public release of Capsule, which is a rich object-based storage system for sensors that supports flexible use of available flash memory by sensor applications.
