Sensor Web Browser demonstrated at OGC TC meeting at CSIRO in Sydney, Australia

Natural Resource Canada's Dr. Boyan demonstrated our Sensor Web Browser at the 2010 OGC December TC Meeting at CSIRO in Sydney, Australia. We worked with Dr. Boyan's team in OGC Ground Water Initiative Experiment (GWIE). According to Dr. Boyan, the demonstration went very well. Screen capture below shows our Sensor Web Browser accessing a NRCan OGC Sensor Observation Service server for the ground water well data in Ontario.

Welcome new member: Ala' Kassab


Welcome Ala' Kassab. We are very happy to have Ala' joining our group. In fact, Ala' is a returning member of GSW Lab. He did he MSc here (co-supervised by Dr. Yang Gao and Dr. Steve Liang). After his MSc study, he went back to his home country, Jordan, and work for a year. Because he is good, Steve invited him back to Canada. :) Looking forward to his contribution to the sensor web research.

Welcome New Member: Andrew Phillips


Welcome Andrew Phillips. We are very happy to have Andrew joining our group. Andrew graduates from the University of Lethbridge's Department of Geography. He is also working as an intern at Agricultural and Agri-Food Canada's Lethbridge Research Centre under Dr. Nathaniel Newlands' supervision. Andrew will be working on a sensor web project focusing on integrated sensing for agricultural applications.

Steve visited IfGI, University of Muenster, Germany


Dr. Steve Liang visited IfGI, University of Muenster last week. GeoSensor Web Lab and IfGI's SWSL research group. We had great discussions in various sensor web research issues, and the two groups definitely will have more future collaborations. Here is the blog post of SWSL about Steve's visit.

Welcome New Member: Ben Knoechel


Welcome Ben Knoechel. We are very happy to have Ben joining our group. Ben graduates from the University of Calgary's Department of Geomatics Engineering (yes, from our own department!! yay~~). He was one of the very top students in his class, and he graduates with distinction. That speaks for his academic capability. Ben will be working on the GeoCENS project.
