Arquitectura para una red de sensores web basada en SWE ( Sensor Web Enablement ): Caso de estudio para la implementación en sensores hidrometeorológicos

The growth of information and communication technologies associated with the needs to access immediately information generated by different sensors made the implementation and the use of communication protocols to acquire and interchange data necessary. In this sense, Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) developed by OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) and each of its components constitute the most appropriate tool to achieve this goal. This research project proposes an architecture based in SWE that allows to access in real-time sensors belonging to a hydro-meteorological network. The architecture has been verified and validated through the implementation of a case study, using the hydrometeorological station “Marianza” located in the Azuay province; station run by PROMAS (Programa para el Manejo del Agua y el Suelo).
