Title: Challenges Ahead for Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract:
The Wireless Sensor Network research community has made tremendous
progress over the past several years, creating numerous platforms,
wireless MAC layers, network protocols and services. Several groups
have taken the technology forward to groundbreaking scientific
deployments. Broad commercial adoption of the technology is
beginning to take hold. This talk will take stock of where we stand
and outline some of the core challenges that lay ahead.
