Sensoritiedolle

Sensoritiedolle is a proposed interdisciplinary concept that describes the systematic use of sensor data to generate knowledge for decision making. It integrates sensor hardware, data processing, context provisioning, and knowledge engineering to transform raw measurements into interpretable information for users in domains such as environmental monitoring, industrial automation, and urban planning.

Etymology and status: The term is Finnish and not widely codified as an official field. It embodies the convergence of sensing, data fusion, model-based reasoning, and explainability, with emphasis on data provenance and usability.

Core concepts and methods: Sensor networks and data fusion, data quality and calibration, edge and cloud analytics, machine learning for pattern discovery, and uncertainty quantification. Emphasis is placed on interoperability, standardization, and transparent decision support.

Applications: Real-time monitoring of ecosystems, air and water quality, structural health monitoring in infrastructure, predictive maintenance in manufacturing, and health-tracking wearables.

Challenges and outlook: Main challenges include privacy and security of sensor data, interoperability across systems, energy efficiency, and governance. As IoT deployment grows, sensoritiedolle-informed approaches are increasingly used to support evidence-based decisions.
