Abstract
An aspect of this invention is a method that includes a computing apparatus estimating geographic locations as a function of time for each of a plurality of sensor nodes. The method further includes estimating a quality of information as a function of time for sensed data to be sensed by the plurality of sensor nodes at the estimated geographic locations; and sending the estimated quality of information as a function of time to one or more applications or consumers of the sensed data.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- at a computing apparatus, estimating geographic locations as a function of time for each of a plurality of sensor nodes;
- estimating a quality of information as a function of time for sensed data to be sensed by the plurality of sensor nodes at the estimated geographic locations;
- and
- sending the estimated quality of information as a function of time to one or more applications or consumers of the sensed data.
A computer-readable memory that contains computer program instructions, wherein the execution of the computer program instructions by at least one data processor results in performance of operations that comprise:
- estimating geographic locations as a function of time for each of a plurality of sensor nodes;
- estimating a quality of information as a function of time for sensed data to be sensed by the plurality of sensor nodes at the estimated geographic locations;
- and
- sending the estimated quality of information as a function of time to one or more applications or consumers of the sensed data.
A data processing system that comprises at least one data processor connected with at least one memory that stores computer program instructions for:
- estimating geographic locations as a function of time for each of a plurality of sensor nodes;
- estimating a quality of information as a function of time for sensed data to be sensed by the plurality of sensor nodes at the estimated geographic locations;
- and
- sending the estimated quality of information as a function of time to one or more applications or consumers of the sensed data.
