Students Shreyas Sadalgi Manoj Koushik Oliver Desborough The Spatial Web Faculty Badri Nath Rich Martin http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/dataman/webdust
Motivation • Present Web: good at describing Conceptual space • “Show me Chinese Restaurants within 5 miles” • Eg. yahoo.com • Spatial Web: describes both Conceptual & Physical space • “Find the closest Chinese Restaurant with the minimum waiting time” • “Inform me whenever this freeway becomes congested within two miles or less ”
Design Goals • Novel information infrastructure to obtain, manage & deliver spatially-constrained data • Information resides at the physical location where it is produced • Information sources can have unbounded heterogeneity • as simple as embedded sensor devices • as complex as full-scale databases
How Spatial Web differs from Today’s Web • All Spatial web pages have a limited physical ‘DataScope’ • Links between the Spatial Web pages mirror the relevant structure in the physical space Werblin Recreation Center Student Center Rutgers Golf Course ECE Dept

Architectural components • Pervasive Sensor Networks: forming a ‘WebDust’ of information • InfoDispensers: • Data aggregation & distribution devices that blanket the physical landscape and act as information-sprinklers • ‘Sprinke’ important local information on users as they pass nearby Pervasive Sensor Networks
Spatial Crawling : Potential Application • Using space as an index to search for local data • Link structure to navigate through physical space • Current Prototype P D A ? Rene Motes with Light sensors
