Studentships (two positions)
Closing date: 4 March 2012
The ICT for Earth Observation Research Group (ICT4EO) at the CSIR Meraka
Institute
conducts research and development in earth observation information and
communications
technologies that have societal benefit. ICT4EO is currently engaged in the
development of
Open Standards compliant services and interfaces for earth observation sensory
resources
in support of the South African Earth Observation Strategy.
Advances in sensing technologies and distributed computing, coupled with
the development
of open standards that facilitate sensor and sensor network
interoperability, are contributing
to the emergence of a phenomenon known as the Sensor Web. ICT4EO has two MSc
studentship opportunities for the research and development of ICTs for
Sensor Web
Enablement. Incumbents will be members of an experienced
inter-institutional team directed
to develop technologies for provisioning of earth observation products,
services and
interfaces. See http://ict4eo.meraka.csir.co.za/ for further details.

Key responsibilities:
· Acquire knowledge about the technologies necessary to contribute to the
outputs of
the Sensor Web Enablement project.
· Acquire knowledge about open geospatial standards for web-enabled sensor
services and products
· Develop and implement open standards compliant services and interfaces
for earth
observation sensory data sets and products
· Develop algorithms for provisioning services using service oriented
architecture
(SOA) or other protocols.
· Develop a mature understanding of the earth observation domain, including
concepts
of Sensor Web Enablement, Geomatics and Remote Sensing.
· Participate in team activities and contribute to the generation of
technical documents
and software outputs as required
