Emerging Technology and Best Practices Seminar Series

Speaker: Mr. David Culler (Bio)

Seminar Title: Sensor Networks - the Next Tier of the Internet

Today we are able to connect almost everybody, and soon we will have the ability to connect almost every thing of value. By networking the physical world, the next tier of the Internet can advance science, enhance productivity and security, and reduce our consumption of natural resources. The past six years of wireless sensor network research have made great strides toward this vision, with thousands of experimentalists around the world implementing novel designs in TinyOS on motes. This talk will snapshot the progress to date and frame the challenges ahead as we advance this technology from academic prototypes and industrial stovepipes to broad usage.
