heritage objects and buildings using wireless networks of
intelligent micro-sensors.

Specifically they will:

    *   Design key elements of the system and work on field
        installation and evaluation

    *   Capture sensing requirements for environmental monitoring
        from key project partners, including design, installation
        and robustness of equipment

    *   Work closely with heritage organisations to conduct field
        trials of prototype wireless sensor systems and use feedback
        from partners to improve design.

    *   Survey commercially-available micro-sensors appropriate for
        the monitoring system and perform calibration and data
        interpretation
