Sage: A Software-Defined Sensor Network
Start
2019
The Sage project is a National Science Foundation (NSF)-backed endeavor, led by Northwestern University since 2019. The project focuses on harnessing the latest edge computing technologies and methods to create a programmable, reusable network of smart, AI-based sensors at the edge for various applications, e.g., tracking smoke plume dispersion during wildfires. Leveraging our expertise in cyberinfrastructure development and data architecture, we have been working towards the robust development of several pieces of the Sage sensor network, including:
- extraction and analysis of camera data from the High Performance Wireless Research and Network (HPWREN), and implementation of mechanisms for redirection of these cameras should they need to zoom in on specific regions of interest
- incorporation of Kepler scientific workflows into the sensor network development process, to ensure the Sage sensor network is composed of reusable cyberinfrastructure services and components
