Abstract

We present the design of a reliable nurse call system based on wireless embedded devices and multi-hop protocols. Our work is motivated by the need for such system during annual summer camps for people with muscular dystrophy and the lack of suitable alternative solutions. We describe how our prototype meets the reliability and real-time requirements of such system, and report on results from a two-week deployment during a camp with 13 affected boys in July 2013.

Hands-on approach to teaching wireless sensor networks at the undergraduate level
ITiCSE '10: Proceedings of the fifteenth annual conference on Innovation and technology in computer science education

Teaching wireless sensor networks (WSNs) at the undergraduate level is both challenging and rewarding. WSNs include low-level programming and debugging, power-aware operations, novel communication paradigms and interdisciplinary applications in real ...
Efficient Placement and Dispatch of Sensors in a Wireless Sensor Network

Sensor deployment is a critical issue because it affects the cost and detection capability of a wireless sensor network. In this work, we consider two related deployment problems: sensor placement and sensor dispatch. The former asks how to place the ...
