Creating a GWT web application for the SOS standard enhanced profile

Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geospatial Technologies.

Sensor Networks have become very popular in recent years. With the proliferation of the use of these networks for very different purposes, it has appeared also the necessity of developing one standard to unify all these types of networks and make them interoperable. This standard is Sensor Observation Service (SOS) and was developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) in 2007 as part of the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) activities. The access to the information provided by sensor networks can be done using PC, laptops on mobile devices such as mobile phones, and that’s why in this project, it has been developed a thin client in Google Web Toolkit (GWT), which follows the SOS standard to access to all information contained in the server without overloading the device.
