Everything, everywhere
Article Abstract:
Sensor web computers that could be the step in computer evolution would take the form of networks of sensors with data-processing and transmission facilities built in, by which millions of tiny computers called motes would be embedded into the fabric of the real world and they would act in concert, sharing the data that each of them gathers so as to process them into meaningful digital representations of the world. Experts say that real-time data can be thus obtained from the physical world on a large scale.

Treetop ecologists brought down by miners
Article Abstract:
A report on the illegal gold mining flourishing in Guiana, causing environmental damage as well as disrupting ecological research in the Amazon area is presented. The ransacking of the material by these 'garimpeiros' delayed the first trial of the Canopy Operation Permanent Access System (COPAS), a project designed to allow researchers to get easy access to the tree-tops of tropical rainforests.
