Sensor networks employ low-power devices to acquire
information directly from the environment and then wirelessly
transmit the information to gateway nodes. Application
of these networks includes monitoring natural events
such as wind speed, rain fall and human activities such
as intrusion detection, and safety monitoring. Sensor
network technology is in the early stages of development
and presents unique research challenges because of the
system wide energy constraints.
Topics of the Seminar:
- Sensor Networks
- Limitations
- Technology currently used
- Applications
- Trends
