RSeSeR

RSeSeR, short for Resilient Sensor System for Environmental Sensing and Reporting, is a modular open‑source framework intended to support robust collection, processing, and dissemination of environmental data from diverse sensors. The platform emphasizes resilience, interoperability, and low power operation to function in urban and remote settings.

The architecture comprises edge devices, gateways, and cloud services. Hardware modules support standard sensor interfaces and local storage. Software layers include driver abstraction, a data‑fusion engine, event processing, and a secure publish/subscribe communications protocol. RSeSeR uses a lightweight mesh networking protocol for site‑wide coverage and supports offline operation with synchronized timestamping and eventual consistency.

Development and governance: RSeSeR originated in theoretical and pilot studies as an open platform for research in sensing and environmental monitoring. It is maintained by a community of researchers and practitioners under an open‑source license, with modular components that can be swapped or extended.

Applications and impact: RSeSeR is used for air and water quality monitoring, weather data collection, seismic activity tracking, disaster response, and citizen science projects. Benefits include data interoperability, rapid deployment, and resilience to node failures; potential limitations include management overhead and scaling challenges in very large deployments.
