<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px">The number of IP connected devices will be nearly three times the global population by 2016 and a growing amount of Internet traffic is originating with non-PC devices. Many of these devices can act as sensors and there may be trillions of fixed sensors by 2020. Such sensors are geographically distributed and are capable of forming ad hoc networks, with nodes expected to be dynamically inserted and removed. This diverse, changing environment provides many interesting challenges. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px">While frameworks such as the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards, developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium, provide some interoperability, semantics is increasingly seen as a key enabler <span class="" style="background:rgb(255,255,204)">for</span>integration of sensor data and broader Web information systems. Analytical and reasoning capabilities afforded by Semantic Web standards and technologies are considered important <span class="" style="background:rgb(255,255,204)">for</span> developing advanced applications that go from capturing observations to recognition of events and ultimately developing comprehensive situational awareness. Defense, transportation, global enterprise, and natural resource management industries are leading the rapid emergence of applications in commercial, civic, and scientific operations that involve sensors, web services and semantics. Semantic technologies are often proposed as important components of complex, cross-jurisdictional, heterogeneous, dynamic information systems. The needs and opportunities arising from the rapidly growing capabilities of networked sensing devices are a challenging case.</div>

Specifically, to develop an understanding of the ways semantic web technologies can contribute to the growth, application and deployment of large-scale sensor networks on the one hand, and the ways that sensor networks can contribute to the emerging semantic web, on the other.</div>
