Abstract

This works presents the developed Monitoring System to carry out the processing, compilation, analysis and presentation of the data collected from the deployed monitoring platforms based on Future Networks for the semiarid zone of the "El Albujón" located in the South of Spain. This Future Networks-based system is used for the evaluation and improvement of the watercourses and flood forecast. The developed system is formed by the parts Complex Event Processing and a flexible architecture focused on Web Services and applications, which presents a new relevance with respect to the current solutions in aspects such as the real-time event processing of the collected information, and the capacity to offer the scalability, flexibility and ubiquity for the access and collection of the information, which are features required for the future watercourse improvement and flood forecast solutions based on Future Internet. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
