Townsville, Australia. The CLEOS group successfully demonstrated cyberinfrastructure products and tools for instrument management within the context of the USArray seismic monitoring applications, and the North Temperate Lakes observatory. The demo included the CLEOS observing system cyberdashboard that automates many of the processes required for sensor deployment and state-of-health monitoring. The cyberdashboard includes a suite of web services for interfacing with sensor network middleware and a user interface composed of GridSphere portal and GoogleEarth technologies. Working sessions in Australia focused on extending the CI tools and applications to address additional instrument management tasks and observing system communities.
