Professor Roger Wattenhofer, Institut für Pervasive Computing, ETH Zürich: Sensor Networks: Theory and Practice Get Together to Gather Data

Beginn: 23.11.2007, 11:00 Uhr Ort: TU Braunschweig, Informatikzentrum, Mühlenpfordtstraße 23, 1. OG, Hörsaal M 161 Webseite: http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/cal/kolloq/2007-11-23-wattenhofer.html Kontakt: Prof. Dr. Sándor P. Fekete

Sensor networks are an exciting research area bringing together researchers with different backgrounds, from theory to practice. I will talk about data gathering in sensor networks, arguably a core task of many applications. I am going to look at data gathering from three different viewpoints, wireless theory, distributed computing, and networking protocols. In particular I will present results on worst-case capacity, data aggregation, and energy efficiency. Sensor networks continue to puzzle as many important ingredients are not well understood. In my talk I will point out a few open problems.
