What is SensorNet?
SensorNet is an ORNL-led initiative, in
collaboration with the Open Geospatial Consortium
(OGC), the National Institute for Standards and
Technology (NIST), and the IEEE to develop and
implement interoperability standards for
ubiquitous, cost-effective, and secure sensor
networks.
30
Why are SensorNet Standards Needed?

• Networking sensors with intelligent decision
  support platforms enhances the ability to detect
  chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear
  (CBRN) threats.
• For applications that detect, fuse, and analyze
  sensor data, simultaneous access to multiple
  sensor sources broadens the range of threats that
  can be detected and reduces the time to confirm,
  interdict, and respond to a threat.
• The cost to deploy proprietary, homogenous,
  stove-pipe sensor networks is prohibitive.
  Standards promote interoperability and a
  competitive market place for users.

31
Bragg Experimental SensorNet Testbed (BEST)

• A DOE WFO initiative, BEST will be the venue for
  the integration of ORNLs SensorNet program with
  a state-of-the-art regional Public Safety
  Answering Point (PSAP) to produce the prototype
  for a standardized Integrated Incident Management
  Center (I2MC).
• BEST will characterize the DoDs requirements for
  Total Installation Awareness.
• BEST will provide Fort Bragg and ORNL a joint
  opportunity to introduce SensorNets
  interoperability standards to a baseline PM
  GUARDIAN facility.

Standardization
The integration of ORNLs middleware with

produce an end-to-end system.
Research
ORNLs reference implementation of the SensorNet
interoperability standards. SensorNet
middleware enables an adaptive, flexible, and
pervasive web that interconnects plug-n-play
sensors with applications. The middleware
development contributes to the SensorNet
Implementation Guide.
ORNLs collaboration with the Open Geospatial
Consortium, NIST, IEEE, and others to define the
