Environment Sensors Measures Processing: Integrating Real-Time and Spreadsheet-Based Data Analysis

Description

Environment and climate monitoring is one of the most compelling scenario of application for the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and methodologies. The chapter introduces and discusses an approach to Environment Sensors Measures data processing which aims at introducing into this domain novel concepts emerged in the technological area of the IoT and smart computing in general: data and resources sharing paradigm, collaborative frameworks for data analytics, end user computing based on spreadsheet tools, rapid prototyping of data "Mashups" and adaptive data processing. The approach has also led to the definition and implementation of a cloud-based prototype platform, which is also presented, currently deployed in the context of a geographic area showing critical environment-related aspects and fragilities.
