Intelligent Systems Integration for Data Acquisition and Modeling of Coastal Ecosystems

  • Conference paper
Book cover Innovations in Applied Artificial Intelligence (IEA/AIE 2004)

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the primary data acquisition system for environmental modeling efforts at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Additionally, we describe the design and development issues encountered in the production of two supplemental data acquisition systems. Finally, we present examples of the use of the acquired data for water level prediction modeling efforts.
