The Smart Sensor Web
Roland Piquepaille writes "As writes Vincent Tao for GEO World, integrating the billions of sensors already present in our environment with the power of the Web will represent 'a revolutionary leap in earth observation.' 'In short, the Sensor Web offers full-dimensional, full-scale and full-phase sensing and monitoring of Earth at all levels: global, regional and local.' The Sensor Web will need to have five characteristics to be successful. It must be interoperable, intelligent, dynamic, flexible and scalable. And the Sensor Web architecture will have four layers: a sensor layer, a communication layer, a location layer and an information layer. When it's here, it will have 'extraordinary significance for science, environmental monitoring, public safety and many other domains of activity.' This summary contains the essential concepts of the original and dense article."
But....
Will it run on Linux?
Linux needs buzzword ridden software or whatever this is. FYI, I didn't read the article and I certainly don't want to! Ignorance is bliss.

Somebody must be smoking some serious crack. It's a sad day when the article is so stupid that it's funnier than the trolls.
