Focus on an EU-Funded Project: SENSEI

In order to realise the vision of Ambient Intelligence in a future network and service environment, SENSEI aims at integrating heterogeneous wireless sensor and actuator networks (WS&AN) into a common framework of global scale and made available to services and applications via universal service interfaces. Expected tangible results of the SENSEI project are, by 2011:
1) A highly scalable architectural framework with corresponding protocol solutions that enable easy plug and play integration of a large number of globally distributed WS&AN into a global system -providing support for network and information management, security, privacy and trust and accounting.
2) An open service interface and corresponding semantic specification to unify the access to context information and actuation services offered by the system for services and applications.
3) Efficient WS&AN island solutions consisting of a set of cross-optimised and energy aware protocol stacks including an ultra low power multi-mode transceiver targeting 5nJ/bit.
4) Pan European test platform, enabling large scale experimental evaluation of the SENSEI results and execution of field trials - providing a tool for long term evaluation of WS&AN integration into the Future Internet.
