Demo abstract: Operating a sensor network at 3500 m above sea level

Sensor networks deployed in remote locations require easy to use but also extremely expressive tools for reliable operation. The PermaSense project has developed a platform based on a number of proven COTS components and integrated with the GSN based data backend. All tools are accessible from a single location in a web browser. This demo will present the monitoring and control tools in live operation with deployments on real field sites in the Swiss Alps.
