title = "Cognitive Cloud to Edge Systems for Remote Real Time Monitoring: CO2Sensing at Mount Nyiragongo Volcano, Employing the Internet Backpack",
abstract = "Cloud technologies and edge (Internet of Things) devices and services have been widely utilized to improve safety and community resiliency. However, in regions with low Internet penetration or even in well-connected communities temporarily 'off-grid,' accessing and coordinating these tools can be a challenge. The Conflict Zone volcano monitoring application explored in this paper may be considered an extreme case. The authors argue that the successful approach assessed in this paper may apply not only to uncommon circumstances. This paper focuses on the use of the Internet Backpack technology as a core part of a cloud to edge communication and information systems for monitoring sensors for early detection of CO2 levels in the city of Goma, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The authors describe testing, implementation and challenges in the mountainous terrain encountered and overcome with the Internet Backpack, in cooperation with the Goma Volcano Observatory (OVG). ",

note = "Funding Information: Engagement in early cogmtJve wireless network exploratory theoretical work recognized, timing, coordination of people and devices as very crucial in the cooperative delivery of data in emergency situations [5]. Research on leveraging wireless grids began in early 2000s. The capability to realize its applications is only now becoming a reality as bridging the gap among wireless network, middleware and grid (cloud) application layers becomes possible with edgeware and open radio access networks. Communication of network state information is stifled by layered protocol architecture, making individual elements unaware of the network conditions experienced by other elements, unless additional capabilities explicitly for achieving connectivity and trust in such circumstances are employed. The increasing complexity and heterogeneity of wireless networks led to exploration of open structures. This stage of research focused on specifications (See Fig. 2) developed with support from NSF PFI (NSF PFI#0917973) funded Wireless Grid Innovation Testbed (WiGiT) in 2009. The goal, to enable a more dynamic, cognitive approach of access-controlled interoperability across networks, applications, devices, content and services.
