This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Given the growing global importance of water issues caused by dwindling water resources and global climate change, building and deploying a real-time sensing infrastructure across water bodies---including rivers, streams, and watersheds --- will be one of the great scientific hurdles and also one of the great research opportunities of the next several decades. Despite numerous technological advances in wireless sensor networks, a chasm separates what is offered by off-the-shelf products and what is needed by scientists for robust, easy deployment of a monitoring infrastructure over running waters. This research involves the design of a solar-powered river sensor network testbed that will enable the vision of perpetual river sensor deployments streaming data continually to laboratory servers.This testbed will enable fundamental, cross-disciplinary research on developing robust, easily deployable over-water wireless networks as well as sensor platforms for monitoring rivers and streams. Specific research challenges include design of solar-powered wireless networks to address lack of electrical infrastructure, heterogeneous multi-radio sensor nodes and protocols to address problems posed by sparse deployments over large geographic regions, and self-managing sensor networks for unattended management. In addition to addressing Computer Science research problems, the testbed will enable environmental scientists to study several scientific research questions, while using the testbed as a test site for larger real-time monitoring deployments in other rivers. The proposed testbed will also directly impact undergraduate research and student diversity by 1) involving undergraduate students through REU programs, 2) impacting curriculum development by enabling field courses in sensor networks and ecology, and 3) involving local high schools to highlight river conservation issues.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国恢复和再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。通过减少水资源和全球气候变化，建立和部署水域的实时感应基础设施 - 包括河流，流媒体和水域的伟大的科学恐怖率和一个很棒的研究，包括河流，流媒体和水上的一项伟大的研究，跨水域的实时感应基础设施的全球重要性越来越大，建立和部署了实时的感应基础设施。尽管无线传感器网络有许多技术进步，但鸿沟将现成的产品提供的鸿沟以及科学家所需要的方面可靠，轻松地部署在运行水域上的监测基础设施。这项研究涉及设计由太阳能的河流传感器网络测试台设计，该测试将使永久的河流传感器部署不断地流向实验室服务器。该测试台将实现基础，跨学科的研究，以开发可靠，易于部署的可部署的可部署的可部署的可部署的超水中无线网络以及监视河流和流媒体和流媒体。具体的研究挑战包括设计太阳能无线网络，以解决缺乏电气基础架构，异质多拉迪奥传感器节点和协议，以解决大型地理区域上稀疏部署所带来的问题以及自我管理的传感器网络，以解决无关紧要的管理。除了解决计算机科学研究问题外，测试床还将使环境科学家能够研究几个科学研究问题，同时将测试床用作测试地点，以进行其他河流中更大的实时监测部署。拟议的测试床还将通过REU计划涉及本科生的本科研究和学生多样性直接影响学生的多样性，2）通过在传感器网络和生态学中启用实地课程来影响课程开发，以及3）涉及当地高中，以突出河流保护问题。
