Architecture of Field Server 1. 2 2. 3. 4.
All-in-one & multiple functions Wi Fi based sensor net Wi-Fi network ork HTTP only. Agent collects data from Field Servers.
Wi-Fi 3G-routers in Field Servers
In Japan
In India
Wi-Fi Wi Fi clients share 3G connection. 3G
Wi-Fi hotspot
Next Stage g 1. 3G became available at almost places in the world. 2 Power should be provided by solar energy for 2. many objectives. 3. Cloud services became useful for data g collection and data sharing. 4. Methods to develop hardware & firmware are changing dramatically for IT-revolution IT revolution and open-source technology.
Arduino + Ethernet Shield
Arduino: Open-source CPU board
Field Server Engine
Ethernet Shield: Ethernet add-on add on board
Arduino & Ethernet Shield
Ethernet Shield’s power is provided by Arduino. High-efficiency power supply supply, power controller controller, relays and connector for external devices are indispensible.

Next Challenges g 1. Free Communication services: Amazon Amazon’ss “Free 3G” made Kindle easy to use. 2 Free 2. F monitoring i i services: i data d collected ll d by b sensor networks can be shared on cloud services. 3 Free apps services: business model to make 3. data collection and apps. Almost all users are nott interested i t t d in i techs t h but b t iinterested t t d in i profit by using apps.
Conclusions 1. Open-FS was developed by using open source hardware/software and a mother board. 2. Amazon’s “Free 3G” shows a future application li ti combining bi i sensor networks t k andd cloud services. 3. A concept of “Ambient Sensor Cloud” was proposed -- Apps using sensor-network data proposed. at any points should be available on cloud for free.
