Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks 6th December 2009

A one day workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks is organized on the 6th of December 2009. We invite academicians, practicing engineers, research scholars and enthusiastic students to participate actively in this workshop. The workshop will provide a forum for the participants to interact, discuss and exchange their knowledge with the experts working in the fields of Wireless sensor networks and embedded systems and also enable the delegates to gain knowledge on the advancements in the related fields. The workshop is designed to impart skills and knowledge on applying technological approaches in wireless sensor networks through expert lectures and demonstration of case studies and will cover the following:

I. WSN Overview

Smart environments represent the next evolutionary development step in building utilities, industrial, home, shipboard, and transportation systems automation. They rely on sensory data from Distributed Wireless Sensor Networks which in turn enable them to make the environment intelligent. IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee Net suite overview.

II. Rapid WSN based Application Development Demonstration

A variety of applications of varying complexity need to be developed quickly and efficiently using Wireless Sensor Networks for many domains. This requires the use of advanced hardware and software toolsets in addition to the sensors and actuators. This session will introduce advanced software and hardware toolsets and also demonstrate development of any application rapidly using them.
Hands-On:

Case studies-demo: Embedded WSN Programming (ARM)
Topology with six nodes: PANC, End Device-1, End Device-2 and End Device-3. The Switch-Lamp application and Temperature sensor applications are developed with wireless sensor integration experiments built over ZigBee Network layer.
a) Switch-Lamp Application b) Temperature Sensor Application
