Dr. Xinrong Li and Dr. Shengli Fu receive research grant from NSF

• Dr.Yan Huang(Computer Science), Dr. Xinrong Li, Dr. Shengli Fu and Miguel Acevedo (Electrical Engineering) and Dr.Ruthanne Thompson (Biology) recently received a 2-year National Science Foundaion award to develop a publicly available environmental monitoring computing research infrastructure that incorporates open sensor network platforms and tools with intertwined wired and wireless sensors and actuators to support computing research and education. The proposed work contributes to develop the Texas Environmental Observatory(TEO) that builds upon and goes beyond the ECOPLEX (Environmental Conditions Online of DFW MetroPLEX) program created by the University of North Texas and the City of Denton in 1999. The system will support a web based interface intergrating important tools for easy sensor network interaction and data dissemination.
