Recent advances in sensing, low-power radio design, and embedded systems are now enabling the connectivity of huge number of devices across massive spatial and temporal scales. These devices have the ability to last multiple years on simple batteries while assembling into intelligent wireless mesh networks, in which individual nodes, known as motes, exchange information wirelessly with their neighbors. This workshop will explore the role of modern Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) across a range of real-world applications including, but not limited to, real-time environmental monitoring, industrial control, structural health monitoring, and energy management. We will bring together prominent domain experts to showcase the core theory and design behind WSNs, present hands-on programing activities, and showcase the many new real-world deployments which have been enabled by these new technologies.
Specifically, the Wireless Sensing Workshop will serve to: Present the theory behind WSNs, including low-power radio technologies, synchronization and frequency channel hopping architectures Provide substantial hands on experiences, teaching participates how to build embedded sensing applications with the NeoMote Help participants connect their own sensor to the NeoMote WSN platform (if interested, bring your own sensor!) Present use-cases of NeoMote deployments to facilitate discussions about deployment strategies and real-world expectations
No prior experience is expected (though participants with some C programming background are expected to excel quickly), and participants will acquire the core skills necessary to effectively deploy reliable WSNs upon completion of the workshop. A laptop with MS Windows is recommended, but one computer will be shared between two participants. We will provide all necessary hardware and sensors.
