A First Iteration Comment
The word “iteration” is used a lot in certain fields like computer science, mathematics and music, where a repetition of steps is often necessary. An iteration is often a new or different version of something. Whether you’re already familiar with this word or not, you know about it in a basic human sense. Take for [...]
An update on the Sensorpedia iPhone application 3 Comments
This summer I worked on creating an iPhone application for Sensorpedia. The goal of the project was to develop a software application that can be run on a mobile computing device and used to transmit distributed data readings from citizens and first responders in near-real time. This application will permit citizens to rapidly report event [...]
Python Library Update Comment
It’s August, and the time of interns at Sensorpedia for the summer is coming to an end. This internship has been a fantastic experience in every possible way, and has helped me develop professionally and technically, to say nothing of the immense and invaluable knowledge of presentation and communication techniques that David has imparted on [...]
Glad to be apart of something great!!!!!!!!!! Comment
I’ve enjoyed my summer here working along with the Sensorpedia project. I’ve been able to contribute a lot to a project that I feel will be a beneficial project in the future to come. Also, pretty happy to see that we have reached a milestone with the sensor count at over 3000 sensors. I hope to [...]
Hey, nobody gets it right the first time! Comment

Perhaps you couldn’t visualize the physical layout of the campus, or maybe the people mentioned didn’t seem “human” in the context of cyberspace. Or was [...]
spylib — The Sensorpedia Python Library Comment
Today I’d like to introduce the first iteration of a python library written to ease the process of generating ATOM feeds for Sensorpedia. With spylib, no knowledge of XML or ATOM is required to publish a sensor group, though an understanding of the various tags and what Sensorpedia wants to do with each of them [...]
Significant Performance Improvements using Google Maps Clustering Comment
I am very excited about the progress we’ve made with Sensorpedia recently. In just a few short weeks, our team of interns has interfaced dozens of sensor systems and we’ve worked together to iron out issues with the Sensorpedia API and web application. Beta testers will notice significant performance updates with the latest version of [...]
