Monitoring of the sub-sea environment requires advanced sensor networks with both stationary and mobile nodes on the surface and underwater, each node playing a different role. The combination of mobile and stationary nodes, the loss of nodes due to harsh conditions, the difficult conditions for wireless sub-sea communication and the need for nodes to collaborate are all factors that require new approaches to software architectures for such nodes and systems. ProSUS sets out to address these issues by adapting approaches from software engineering solutions to ubiquitous computing.
 
The project runs from 2009 to 2010, and exploits results from the EU-funded projects MUSIC, Underwater Acoustic Network (UAN) and CLAM (Collaborative embedded networks for submarine surveillance).
