Welcome to the SmartOcean Platform

The SmartOcean digital ecosystem is a system-of-systems comprised of data consumer systems and applications, data provider systems and applications, external data services, end-user applications, and the Smart Ocean Data Service and Application Platform for development and deployment of smart ocean applications.

The platform is developed as part of the SFI Smart Ocean centre for research-based innovation funded by the Norwegian Research Council involving research and industry partners focussing on key challenges in developing smart ocean systems. The three main focus areas of the centre are: underwater sensor and measurement technology; underwater wireless sensor networks based on acoustic communication; and the Smart Ocean Platform for cloud-based data- and application services.
