Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have great potential to revolutionize many science and engineering
domains. We present a novel environmental monitoring system with a focus on overall system architecture for seamless
integration of wired and wireless sensors for long-term, remote, and near-real-time monitoring. We also present a
unified framework for sensor data collection, management, visualization, dissemination, and exchange, conforming to
the new Sensor Web Enablement standard.
