Abstract

This work was developed in the context of a system for remote water quality monitoring based on a wireless local area network (WLAN) and includes a Kohonen self-organizing map (K-SOM) implementation in order to perform sensor data validation and reconstruction and sensor failure and pollution event detections. Simulation and experimental results are presented.
