Last week I wrote about the new version of Ilwis that is in the making. It is still a long way off but its contours are beginning to take shape. The questions is though, why are we (52n) doing this? What is the rationale behind it? I mean, we have a working version of Ilwis. It may have its quirks and limitations but I have the feeling that what it is trying to, it does that well enough. So why?

52°North Sensor Event Service 1.1.0 released
The Sensor Web community has released version 1.1.0 of the 52°North SES. This release introduces additional functionality and fixes several known problems.
New features include:
- Implemented Stored Filters for easy reusability of subscriptions (see Capabilities and WSDLs)
- Switched default Consumer Notification to usage of Apache HttpComponents HttpClient 4.x (embedded in OXF, including connection pooling)
- New mechanism to define the used Notification Parsers in the configuration file. This enables support for external parsers (implemented against the API)
- externalized SES/EML XML bindings (to OXF)
- migrated from Apache Muse to 52North amused (fork of Muse)
- Improved WSDL descriptions, now allows fully access to all operations through the WSDL definitions
- (Meta Feature) introduced Integration Testing to provide an improved stable service
The binary release including the complete sources can be obtained through our downloads page. A detailed changelog including a list of bugfixes is provided.
The Parcel on the Web Challenge
Have you ever ordered some nice piece of technology or other expensive things online and couldn’t wait until it reaches you? Have you been curious where the ordered parcel currently is? And once it reaches you, did you want to know what happened on it’s way to you? Was the parcel exposed to temperature changes, unhealthy for the contained goods? Has it even been fallen down?
Those kind of questions were the motivation behind a recent project we conducted together with con terra, Cassini, and (most importantly) a bunch of dedicated students from the Institute for Geoinformatics. Answering such questions in a larger scale could help in future e.g. insurance companies to better assess the current risk in insured goods travelling around the world. Thus, we have collaborated with the Provinzial insurance company in this project, who gave us valuable comments, requirements, and feedback.
