NIWeek Preliminary Conference Program 2008 - (Page 20) ADDITIONAL EVENTS IEEE Wireless Hive Networks Conference Cooperative sensors, tags, and devices for intelligent measurement and control Thursday, August 7 – Friday, August 8 Wireless Hive Networks (WHNs) are local communities of wireless devices associated with items on warehouse shelves, biomedical samples, and border motion detectors. The conference unites researchers, engineers, and other practitioners addressing WHN protocols, power generation, semiconductor processes, and other WHN production and efficient deployment issues. Sensing Your Health Embedded Network Sensing (ENS) systems are distributed collections of smart sensors and actuators that require self-configuring systems that adapt to their environments for distributed control. Take an in-depth look at the engineering of ENS technology including distributed system design, wireless communications, signal processing, and low-power multimodal sensor technology design. Deb Estrin, Jon Postel Chair in Computer Networks, UCLA, and Founding Director, Center for Embedded Networked Sensing Wireless Device Convergence Multitudes of wireless devices and networks have emerged recently including Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and RFID. Discover how device convergence can be an enabling factor for WHNs. Jon Adams, Director of Radio Technology and Strategy, Freescale Semiconductor Lunch Panel Join a panel of experts as they discuss wireless health, a new technology that combines ubiquitous wireless networks and portable consumer devices with wireless, wearable sensor monitoring. Learn about the challenges of providing quality healthcare, potential solutions, policy issues, and opportunities for wireless deployments. Paper Sessions Watch as researchers and engineers present information on enabling technologies and deployment strategies on topics such as device technology to produce low-cost, polymer components; applications for wireless health, energy control, and advanced metering infrastructure; security and privacy; and cognitive radio.
