The partners of the ESNA project (which finished in December 2009) are proud to announce that this week ESNA has received an award for its results. Below, some details, a view of the certificate, and a videoclip from the ceremony. At the 2010 ITEA/Artemis Co-Summitt in Ghent, Belgium (Oct 26-27), the ESNA project was awarded the ITEA Gold Achievement Award. The motivation was stated by ITEA as: The ITEA Board recognises the important role that ESNA is playing in the Internet of things with business-oriented wireless-sensor network applications using a standard architecture and proof-of-concept implementations. ESNA offers an impressive balance between advanced technological innovation -- including the world's smallest implementation of IPV6 and optimisation of radio communications between devices to reduce energy use -- and a business-oriented approach to defining applications. Exploitation includes the GAIA sensor node for precision agriculture in Spain, a spin-off to target energy monitoring and management in construction and ABB's use of sensors in process control.
It is a great honour for the ESNA project to receive this recognition of the results that we as partners have achieved together -- both in terms of technical excellence and in terms of real exploitation. And then an audience video from the official ceremony ... ITEA 2010 Achievement Award - Gold medal to the ESNA project from Walter Colitti on Vimeo.

The emerging technology of wireless sensor networks creates new opportunities for innovative applications, but poses new technical challenges for constructing such applications. The ESNA (European sensor network architecture) project aims to provide the necessary support for effective development of wireless sensor network applications: a standard architecture, technology and application-development guidelines, and proof-of-concept implementations.
The objective of ESNA is to contribute to establishing wireless sensor networks as a technology discipline serving business needs. There are three main goals: 1. Explore and model detailed application requirements that will drive technology development,
2. Explore and further develop technologies for WSN applications; and
3. Explore methodology and business aspects of WSN. The main technological result will be an open sensor network system architecture with support for several off-the-shelf sensor network nodes, including applications, software development kits and middleware services, based on documented interoperability specifications. The methodology results will be guidelines for sensor network application development – including
guidelines for dimensioning of networks, and type of nodes to use for different application domains, as well for requirements analysis and design at a systems level. ESNA will produce these results by iterating co-ordinated work on a generic architecture and its development platform, and on specific WSN applications that evaluate the underlying platform and guidelines. |
