Center for Environmental Sensing and Modeling (CENSAM) IRG
CENSAM
What is the CENSAM IRG?
The grand challenge of the Centre for environmental sensing and Modeling (CENSAM) is to provide proof of concepts in the paradigm of pervasive monitoring, modeling, and control within the highly developed and carefully managed urban environment of Singapore.
Pervasive sensing provides a new paradigm for monitoring, modeling, and control of natural and infrastructure systems that affect the environment. CENSAM aims to create a center of excellence in environmental sensing and modeling that will demonstrate the importance of pervasive sensing through applications in the well-managed urban environment of Singapore.
The Purpose/Goal of CENSAM
Mission
The long-term goal of CENSAM is to develop a representation of the natural and built environment that will seamlessly transition from micro-scale processes (at the level of individual constructed facilities, 1-10km), to the meso-scale of the city state of Singapore (10-100km) and the macrosystem of the coupled biosphere-atmosphere-ocean (at the regional scale, 100-1000km). Multiple resolution environmental models will assimilate remote sensing data from satellite and airborne platforms with ground observations from diverse sensor networks and mobile sub-marine AUV sensor platforms. CENSAM brings together a multidisciplinary team of MIT faculty with researchers from Singaporean academic institutions.
The Problem of CENSAM
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
