Fundamental Aspects in Data Analysis for Sensor Network Metrology

Abstract

Sensor networks underpin many developments in digital transformation, with applications ranging from regulated utility networks to low-cost Internet of Things (IoT). The metrological assessment of sensor networks necessitates a fundamental revision of calibration, uncertainty propagation and performance assessment and new approaches for information and data handling regarding the individual sensors and their interactions in the network to allow a systems metrology approach to be established. This contribution summarizes initial findings from three research projects and gives an outlook into future developments.
