IEEE WIRELESS HIVE NETWORKS CONFERENCE 2008 SESSIONS Panel Program: Sensing Your Health Providing quality healthcare in the face of increasing incidence of disease, an aging population, and soaring costs is a daunting task. One possibility is wireless health, a new technology combining ubiquitous wireless networks and portable consumer devices with wireless, wearable sensor monitoring. Hear a panel of experts describe the problem, discuss potential solutions, identify policy issues, and suggest opportunities for wireless deployments. Industry and Academic Experts A Planar Half-Disk Antenna for an Ultra-Wideband Application Investigate a novel, compact multiband planar half-disk antenna. Learn how engineers obtained broad impedance bandwidths, allowing the antenna to work with various wireless systems. Listen as those involved present design details and a comparison of the simulated and measured results. Adel M. Abdin, Lecturer, Shorouk Academy Thursday, August 7 2:15 – 2:45 p.m. Marriott Rio Grande Ballroom Thursday, August 7 11:45 a.m.–12:45 p.m. Marriott Rio Grande Ballroom SODA: Scalable On-Demand Aggregation for Wireless Sensor Networks A novel approach to gathering responses from a wireless sensor is proposed based on a near-optimal constraintbased scheduling algorithm and tight time synchronization. The efficiency and feasibility is validated incorporating simulation studies and real system implementation, built on and coexisting with a CSMA-based commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) wireless protocol stack. Ting Yan, Lead Engineer, Eaton Corporation Compact Multiband V-Shaped Antenna for UWB Applications A compact multiband V-shaped antenna has bands that allow it to work with various common wireless systems. The gain ranges between 1.09787 and 5.46341 dBi, proving that the proposed antenna also can be used within various applications. View a presentation of the design details and comparison of the simulated and measured results. Adel M. Abdin, Lecturer, Shorouk Academy Thursday, August 7 2:45 – 3:15 p.m. Marriott Rio Grande Ballroom Thursday, August 7 1:00 –1:30 p.m. Marriott Rio Grande Ballroom OFDM Location-Based Routing Protocols in Ad Hoc Networks Typical network routing abstracts the lower-level phenomena. While the routing formulations are simplified, jointly optimized systems routinely outperform those singularly optimized. Learn how to improve traditional routing by defining the cross layer joint optimization of an ad hoc wireless network incorporating non-GPS OFDM-based geometric-aided routing protocols. Dr. Brian Kelley, Assistant Professor, A Multihop, Multisegment Architecture for Perimeter Security over Extended Geographical Regions Using WSNs Discover a WSN architecture for perimeter security monitoring over extended geographical regions. Customized protocols and deployment techniques disseminate perimeter event detection and tracking data to the sink. The proposed architecture reduces the number of deployed nodes, resulting in reduced network complexity and cost. Carlos E. Otero, Ph.D. Student, Florida Institute of Technology Thursday, August 7 3:30 – 4:00 p.m. Marriott Rio Grande Ballroom The University of Texas at San Antonio Thursday, August 7 1:30 – 2:00 p.m. Marriott Rio Grande Ballroom 53
