Traces from Senzations
The 3rd Summer School on Applications of Wireless Sensor Networks and Wireless Sensing in the Future Internet (senZations’08) will conclude this afternoon at the Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The five day program consisted in lectures and seminars from researchers strongly involved in the field, from both Academy and Industry. You may like to review slide-shows online. At the time of this writing there are two interesting files:
a) Collaborative WSN Programming: this is divided in two sections. Part One describes Open issues and Programming environments in WSN, while focusing in TinyOS and 802.15.4 radios. Part Two is devoted to Octopus, a visual control tool for WSN developments specifically designed for TinyOS 2.x. It’s meant to empower users and developers to control a WSN from node-level-code to global performance figures, including node localization, parameter tuning, etc. (Presented by A. Ruzzelli, UCD)
b) WSN HW design and experiences from building a testbed: This illustrative example of a WSN application design describes the hardware perspective of a platform and infrastruture currently employed in the MOSAR Project. The work is part of a Frech collaboration effort to advance our understanding of antimicrobial resistance of bacteria responsible for emerging infections in hospitals. The SenLab Consortium will open (beta) public access to the system in Q1 of 2009. (Presented by A. Fraboulet, INRIA Ares – CITI Lab.)
