In this paper, underwater sensor network with static sensor nodes is applied in environmentalmonitoring. The scope of underwater sensor applications can be enhanced by combining underwater sensor network and cloud computing. The underwater sensor cloud management is done by proposing a middleware based on metamodeling. The underwater sensor cloud architecture provides a way for underwater sensor motes to collect, store and retrieve environmental data. The proposed Hadoop framework serves as a middleware for underwater sensor cloud. The middleware that is been considered to use in our research is an intelligent context-aware middleware software that will glue together the network hardware, operating systems, network stacks and applications. It contain a runtime environment that supports and coordinates multiple applications based on multi-agents, and standardized system services such as data aggregation, control and management policies. Underwater Sensor cloud framework enables to Extract knowledge from the data it collects and use the information to intelligently react and adapt to its surroundings. It links a remote end user's cognizance with the observed environment. Sensor Web is an amorphous network, creating an embedded, distributedmonitoring presence that provides a dynamic infrastructure for sensors. Reduce the Labor effort and have continuous monitor of the environment Provide more intensive and accurate data on the current status of the environment and reduces the reaction time towards the environmental changes Since there is no specific routing of information, all pods share everything with one another. This global data sharing allows each pod to be aware of situations beyond its specific location Usage of historical data to predict future actions and foresee the disaster to be caused quickly and more precisely Framework can support extensibility, easy maintainability and control over the sensors deployed

In this research we present a non-invasive Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) system that allows patients with motor paralysis conditions to control electronic appliances in a hospital room. The novelty of our system compared to other BMI applications is that our system gradually becomes autonomous by learning user actions (i.e. turning on/off window, lights, etc.) under certain environment conditions (temperature, illumination, etc.) and brain states (i.e. awake, sleepy, etc.). By providing learning capabilities to the system, patients are relieved from mental fatigue or stress caused by continuously controlling appliances using a BMI. We present an interface that allows the user to select and control appliances using electromyogram signals (EMG) generated by muscle contractions such as eyebrow movement. Our learning approach consists in two steps: 1) monitoring user actions, input data from sensors distributed around the room, and Electroencephalogram (EEG) data from the user, and 2) using an extended version of the Bayes Point Machine approach trained with Expectation Propagation to approximate a posterior probability from previously observed user actions under a similar combination of brain states and environmental conditions. Experimental results with volunteers demonstrate that our system provides satisfactory user experience and achieves over 85% overall learning performance after only a few trials.

A diverse range of faults and errors can occur within a wireless sensor network (WSN), and it is difficult to predict and classify them, especially post-deployment within the environment. Current monitoring and debugging techniques prove deficient for systems which contain bugs characteristic of both distributed and embedded systems. The challenge that faces researchers is how to comprehensively address network, node and data level anomalies within WSNs through the creation, collection and aggregation of local state information while minimizing additional network traffic and node energy expenditure. This paper introduces Intellectus which seeks to develop sensor motes that are both self and environment aware. The sensor node relies on local information in order to monitor itself and that of its neighborhood, by adding a learning approach based upon perceived events and their associated frequency.

Information technologies have evolved to an enabling science for natural resource management and conservation, environmental engineering, scientific simulation and integrated assessment studies. Computing plays a significant role in the every day practices of environmental engineers, natural scientists, economists, and social scientists. The complexity of natural phenomena requires interdisciplinary approaches, where computing science offers the infrastructure for environmental data collection and management, scientific simulations, decision support, documentation and reporting. Ecology, environmental engineering and natural resource management comprise an excellent real-world testbed for IT system demonstration, while presenting new challenges for computer ***, uncertainty and scaling issues of natural systems constitute a demanding application domain for modelling, simulation and scientific workflows, data management and reporting, decision support and intelligent systems, distributed computing environments, geographical information systems, heterogeneous systems integration, software engineering, accounting systems, control systems, as well as sustainable manufacturing and reverse logistics. This books offers a collection of papers presented at the 6th internationalconference on environmental Engineering, held in July 2013, in Lneburg, Germany. Recent success stories in ecoinformatics, promising ideas and new challenges are discussed among computer scientists, environmental engineers, industrial engineers, economists and social scientists, demonstrating new paradigms for problem solving and decision making.
