The academic community has always been known for a stream of innovative, pioneering and exciting products, discoveries and inventions which have helped in paving the way for the wireless era.
This SIG is championed by:
The Academic and Industry SIG is a forum at which participants can illustrate and discuss current applications and concepts, including projects in development which may be searching for collaborators.
Ultimately, this forum aims to:
Academic and Industry SIG: Pervasive sensing: From the lab to real world applications… The Academic and Industry SIG is a forum at which participants can illustrate and discuss current applications and concepts, including projects in development which may be looking for collaborators.This event is sponsored by O2. Cambridge Wireless is delighted to launch this inaugural event which aims to promote research activities and exploit commercial incentives. This SIG is championed by key players in the field; Ian Wassel of the Wireless Communication Team, Eiman Kanjo of Cambridge Mobile Sensing, David Roberts from Symbian, Alex Butler from Microsoft Research and Gordon Aspin of Camitri Technologies. We are grateful to O2 for sponsoring this event.
Wireless sensor technologies including stationary and mobile sensing devices are becoming smaller and more affordable. Also, there is a noticeable increase in the number of small computational devices carried by individuals e.g., mobile phones, PDAs, which feature sophisticated location technologies. If these technologies are coupled together, there is tremendous potential for information collection, across multiple market segments e.g., environmental monitoring, healthcare, entertainment and location-based services. We are particularly interested in the new generation of sensor networks; those aimed at everyday applications in daily life which sense information directly or indirectly related to human activity, as well as aspects of the environment around them. This event provides a forum for representatives from both academia and industry, to collaborate together to provide an insight into which applications will produce the greatest value and what barriers must be overcome to develop applications for these technologies. The event will focus on applications, rather than the technology itself. Click here for the Draft Agenda
Registration has now closed and we are now operating a waiting list. We sometimes have cancellations before the event. If you would like to be included in the waiting list, please email ingrid.sims@cambridgewireless.co.uk. Events are free to Cambridge Wireless members and invited guests. Tickets for non-members are £150.00 plus VAT. Tickets for non-members from academic institutions are £75.00 plus VAT. Places at the event are limited and therefore subject to availability.
