Proposal #: 11-27084 PI(s): Wang, Lei; Cui, Jun-Hong (June); Li, Baikun; O?Donnell; Wang, Bing Institution: University of ConnecticutTitle: MRI/Dev.: Instrumentation for Sustainable Distributed Cyber-Aquatic SystemsProject Proposed:This project, called DiCAS, developing a novel instrument and testbed environment based on an underwater sensor network platform that harvests energy underwater and incorporates power metering and power/performance tradeoff-aware schemes and protocols for longer network life, considers specific underwater characteristics, such as underwater faults and communication link conditions. Adaptive strategies to save energy will be built as part of the work. The instrument enables research in/with:- Advanced instruments and tools that enable researchers to observe physical, chemical, and biological processes and monitor the aquatic environments in real time, across broad physical expanses and durations, continuously and reliably;- Novel hardware and software for the cyber-aquatic system; - Two types of testbeds: -- Lake field testbed;-- Sea field testbed, with specific applications using the testbed for: --- Resolving vertical mixing in the ocean;--- Identifying/predicting harmful algae; and --- Monitoring distributed offshore oilfield infrastructure.Broader Impacts: This project, unique in its goals and expected results, exhibits potential for large broader impacts in the area of sustainable aquatic observation and exploration systems. The instrument will enable a wide range of research activities, from aquatic scientific research (such as oceanography, limnology, and hydrology) and pollution detection, to offshore oil/gas exploration and coastal and harbor/port protection. Planned is a unique hands-on learning environment for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a program engaging K-12 students and teachers, particularly in underserved communities. The PIs have prior track record of involving women, minority, and undergraduate students in their research.

提案编号：11-27084 PI(s)：王雷；崔俊红（六月）； 李白坤;奥唐纳； Wang, Bing 机构：康涅狄格大学 标题：MRI/Dev.：可持续分布式网络水生系统仪器 项目建议：该项目名为 DiCAS，开发一种基于水下传感器网络平台的新型仪器和测试台环境，该平台在水下收集能量并结合电力计量和功率/性能权衡感知方案和协议可延长网络寿命，并考虑特定的水下特性，例如水下故障和通信链路条件。作为工作的一部分，将制定节约能源的适应性策略。该仪器支持以下研究：- 先进的仪器和工具，使研究人员能够观察物理、化学和生物过程，并在广泛的物理范围和持续时间内持续可靠地实时监测水生环境；- 新颖的硬件和软件对于网络水上运动系统； - 两种类型的试验台： -- 湖泊现场试验台； -- 海洋试验台，使用该试验台的具体应用为： --- 解决海洋中的垂直混合问题； --- 识别/预测有害藻类； --- 试验台。更广泛的影响：该项目以其独特的目标和预期结果，在可持续水生观测和勘探系统领域展现出产生更广泛影响的潜力。该仪器将支持广泛的研究活动，从水生科学研究（如海洋学、湖沼学和水文学）和污染检测，到近海石油/天然气勘探以及沿海和港口/港口保护。 Planned 是一个为本科生和研究生提供独特的实践学习环境，也是一个吸引 K-12 学生和教师参与的项目，特别是在服务欠缺的社区。 PI 之前有让女性、少数族裔和本科生参与其研究的记录。
