The ability to continuously monitor the integrity of our nations civil infrastructure in real-time can reduce maintenance and inspection costs, while providing for increased safety to the public. Middleware services and tools can provide a fundamental foundation and a crucial technology for full-scale implementation of SHM strategies that can exploit the opportunities offered by smart sensing systems. The focus of this investigation will be placed on developing an integrated middleware services-based system that can utilize information sensed at multiple scales for structural condition assessment. To ground this research, the latest generation of embedded computers from Intel, the Imote2, will provide the platform employed. The comprehensive research plan has four primary tasks: (i) develop an integrated sensor board with multi-scale sensors for the Imote2 platform; (ii) conceptualize, develop, and implement software services and tools framework for civil infrastructure systems using the Imote2 platform; (iii) develop new SHM algorithms that can be executed in the smart sensors distributed computing environment; and (iv) prototype and test developed hardware and software in both laboratory and field environments. Successful completion of the proposed research tasks will make substantial strides toward realizing the practical implementation of dense arrays of smart sensors for protection of civil infrastructure.

持续监视我们国家民用基础设施的完整性的能力可以降低维护和检查成本，同时为公众提高安全性。中间件服务和工具可以为SHM策略的全面实施提供基本的基础和至关重要的技术，从而利用智能传感系统提供的机会。这项调查的重点将放在开发基于中间件服务的集成系统的系统上，该系统可以利用在多个尺度上感知的结构性条件评估的信息。为了理解这项研究，IMOTE2的Intel的最新一代嵌入式计算机将提供所采用的平台。综合研究计划有四个主要任务：（i）为IMOTE2平台开发一个具有多尺度传感器的集成传感器板； （ii）使用IMOTE2平台概念化，开发和实施针对民用基础架构系统的软件服务和工具框架； （iii）开发可以在分发计算环境的智能传感器中执行的新SHM算法； （iv）原型和测试在实验室和现场环境中开发了硬件和软件。成功完成拟议的研究任务将取得长足的进步，以实现实际实施众多智能传感器来保护民用基础设施。
