\nNSF Workshop Future Directions in Systems Research for Networked Sensing Draws Leaders
\nfrom Across the Continent
\n(Boston) \u2013 On May 25\u201326 leaders in the field of sensor networks will converge on Boston University for the National Science Foundation\u00a0 Workshop: Future Directions in Systems Research for Networked Sensing in the Photonics Building, 8 Saint Mary\u2019s Street, Room 906.
\nThe workshop brings together the most renowned scholars in the field of distributed sensing and control and will draw over 140 academic and industry leaders from across North America and Europe. The workshop includes a panel of industry and government experts.
\n\u201cResearch in this area continues to grow exponentially, in part because the issues of scalability, reliability, security, power, and performance create an optimal playground for systems researchers, and in part because of the enormous potential to revolutionize the globe in areas such as healthcare, industry, the environment and defense,\u201d says Venkatesh Saligrama, workshop chair and professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Boston University.
\nAttendees hail from pre-eminent research institutions including University of California at Berkeley, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, McGill University, Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Princeton University, and Yale University.
\nGovernment leaders from the Office of Naval Research, the Army Research Office, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Los Alamos National Laboratory will highlight the impact of sensor networking on issues of national importance.
\nIndustry leaders, including Sensor Network Consortium (SNC) members Crossbow Technology,\u00a0 Honeywell, IBM, Sun Microsystems, Millennial Net, and the Mitre Corporation, will be participating. The workshop was organized in coordination with the semi-annual SNC member meeting taking place on May 24.
\nThe workshop is sponsored by the NSF Division of Electrical and Communications Systems and hosted by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Center for Information and Systems
\nEngineering at Boston University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
