User Requirements for Sensor Web based Scientific Workflows in the Cholera Research Domain

Our findings are not easy to generalise, but many of the insights offered by natural scientists in the cholera research domain through this process serve as further confirmation of the known challenges of scientific workflows. It is the potential for using the facilities of the sensor web through the perceived simplifying medium of scientific workflows that interests natural scientists. Significant technical and in particular, meta-data related challenges will need to be addressed before the sensor web becomes more accessible in this way to scientists.
