• 1. All-in-one & multiple functions

2 Wi Fi based sensor net ork

• 2. Wi-Fi based sensor network
• 3. HTTP only.
• 4. Agent collects data from Field Servers.

Next Stage g

• 1. 3G became available at almost places in the

world. 2 Power should be provided by solar energy for

• 2. Power should be provided by solar energy for

many objectives.

• 3. Cloud services became useful for data

collection and data sharing. g

• 4. Methods to develop hardware & firmware are

changing dramatically for IT revolution and changing dramatically for IT-revolution and

• pen-source technology.

• 1. Free Communication services: Amazon’s
• 1. Free Communication services: Amazon s

“Free 3G” made Kindle easy to use. 2 F i i i d ll d b

• 2. Free monitoring services: data collected by

sensor networks can be shared on cloud services. 3 Free apps services: business model to make

• 3. Free apps services: business model to make

data collection and apps. Almost all users t i t t d i t h b t i t t d i are not interested in techs but interested in profit by using apps.

Conclusions

• 1. Open-FS was developed by using open

source hardware/software and a mother board. board.

• 2. Amazon’s “Free 3G” shows a future

li ti bi i t k d application combining sensor networks and cloud services.

• 3. A concept of “Ambient Sensor Cloud” was

proposed -- Apps using sensor-network data

• proposed. -- Apps using sensor-network data

at any points should be available on cloud for free.
