Resource Constrained Autonomous Wireless Sensor Networks Periods 4-5 Time: Fridays 14-16 in TB222 Starting: February 8th 2008 Resource Constrained Autonomous Wireless Sensor Networks are a new technology in research and industry, possessing high potential for numerous applications. WSNs are envisioned to be an enabling technology for ubiquitous networks, where computing power is invisibly embedded around us and accessed through intelligent interfaces. In these visions, WSN consists of numerous nodes, which operate fully autonomously in interaction with their environment, and execute sensing, computing, actuating, and communication tasks. In the seminar course, the essential challenges of resource constrained Wireless Sensor Network design and implementation and defined and explained. The seminar gives both theoretical and practical information for WSN design and utilization. The seminar concentrates on selected topics of energy-efficient protocol and platform functionalities, and evaluates the potential application scenarios and building blocks for WSNs. The lecture topics include: Embedded Autonomous Wireless Sensor Networks; Research, applications, markets Basic concepts, topologies, protocols and platforms of WSNs Standards and Industry Specifications Resource constrained protocols: MAC Resource constrained protocols: Networking and routing Location-Awareness Design and simulation tools Students’ seminar presentations are selected from a range of topics: Time synchronization, Data fusion/aggregation, distribution, Platform technologies, Operating systems and software platforms, Security in WSNs, Quality of Service in WSNs, Naming and addressing, etc.
