Current trends indicate that in the near future low cost, short range radio technology may be widely available. Along with advances in wireless networking, this will enable wireless, ad-hoc sensor networks to become commonly deployed.
In these networks, each node may be equipped with a variety of sensors, such as acoustic, seismic, infrared, motion, biomedical and chemical sensors with higher level of information inference associated with identification, embedded signal processing and networking of the data.
Wireless, ad-hoc networks have a variety of potential uses, such as:
security applications to detect and record military information;
chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives detection applications;
applications to monitor environmental changes in plains, forests, oceans, and other topography;
traffic sensor applications to monitor vehicle traffic;
transport flow and parking applications.
This event will be a forum for researchers and practitioners to share experience and ideas on innovative developments.
