One Information Space, Billions of Sensors

Interactions and inter-dependencies between governmental and social infrastructures become more and more complex and their governance requires new ways of thinking and new approaches. To face challenges related to the collection and availability of environmental information or information to support the protection of the environment at different levels, local, regional, global, a new approach is needed. We should be prepared to manage the heterogeneity of emerging dynamic systems and be able to transform increasing amount of real time available data into reliable, accurate, timely, and openly accessible information at the relevant geographic and temporal scales. This paper introduces some research challenges for the development of an improved, comprehensive and efficient eGovernment framework.
