Monitoring nyiragongo volcano using a federated cloud-based wireless sensor network
subject: Cloud computing; Sensor-clouds; Volcano monitoring; Wireless sensor network
description: Current Nyiragongo Volcano observatory systems yield poor monitoring quality due to unpredictable dynamics of volcanic activities and limited sensing capability of existing sensors (seismometers, acoustic microphones, GPS, tilt-meter, optical thermal, and gas flux). The sensor node has limited processing capacity and memory. So if some tasks from the sensor nodes can be uploaded to the server of cloud computing then the battery life of the sensor nodes can be extended. The cloud computing can be used both for processing of aggregate query and storage of data. The two principal merits of this paper are the clear demonstration that the Cloud Computing model is a good fit with the dynamic computational requirements of Nyiragongo volcano monitoring and the novel optimization algorithm for seismic data routing. The proposed new model has been evaluated using Arduino-Atmega328 as hardware platform, Eucalyptus/Open Stack with Orchestra-Juju for Private Sensor Cloud connected to some famous public clouds such as Amazon EC2, ThingSpeak, SensorCloud and Pachube. 2017 IEEE.
