************************************************************************
I invite you to attend a second meeting of the Sensor Standards Harmonization Working Group as we have scheduled at the end of our first meeting in December at NIST. It will be held on March 14, 2006, in coincidence with the NIST Interoperability Week. Our meeting in December provided attendees with a high-level understanding of the relevant programs underway. For this follow on meeting, I would like to engage key standards body representatives in a more in-depth, detailed and technical discussion of the sensor related standards work that we are advancing. A key goal of this meeting would be to identify, at a deeper level of understanding, the capabilities, degree of compatibility, and issues related to the sensor standards framework that is evolving via IEEE, OASIS, OGC and others. The location of the meeting place at NIST will be distributed later and the direction to NIST can be found at
Please send me an e-mail if you plan to attend this meeting. Also, feel free to distribute this meeting announcement to your colleagues or people you think who might be interested to attend.
In addition, I am also calling a one-day technical working meeting in Huntsville, Alabama on March 7 (TBR), the week before our Second Sensor Standards Harmonization Working Group meeting, This time and location is advantageous for a number of reasons. Several of the standards experts involved in OASIS and OGC work are located in Huntsville, and the OGC is holding its Technical Committee meetings that week, which gives us opportunity to interact with their members on sensor standards issues. Additionally, Oak Ridge National Lab staff would like to arrange for a detailed discussion of their standards-based SensorNet work being conducted at FortBragg -- their prime contractor on this effort is located in Huntsville.
I propose the following agenda for your consideration. Please let me know if you have any changes or additions to contribute:
Introductions and Welcome
Summary of findings from the initial NIST Sensor Standards Harmonization Meeting
Detailed discussions of Standards Efforts
IEEE 1451
OASIS CAP, EDXL
OGC Sensor Web Enablement
SEIWG
CBRN Common Data Model
Others
