Tenta: Remote and Real-Time Sensor Network Management

In many domains, sensor networks have become indispensable to drive effective decisions: They monitor greenhouse gases and air pollutants (Dietrich et al., 2021;Wenzel et al., 2021), record volcanic activity (Werner-Allen et al., 2006), and track animal migrations (Zhang et al., 2004).However, when these networks are more than a few sensors in scale and/or their locations are difficult to access, manual inspection of sensors to retrieve their data and check their status gets prohibitively time-intensive.Simultaneously, scale renders the occurrence of sensor failures practically unavoidable.Failures that stay undetected lead to data loss (Bart et al., 2014;Tolle & Culler, 2005) and skewed results, and thus, potentially, to erroneous conclusions.
