Early prototyping has proven to be an essential methodology to evaluate wireless sensing systems. Furthermore, it offers an excellent way to assess the applicability of the technology against real user requirements and to promote its market adoption. Building on the last two years’ successful events, the Wireless Sensing Interest subGroup (WiSIG) of the Electronics, Sensors, Photonics Knowledge Transfer Network (ESP KTN) is organising a Demonstrator Showcase to provide an opportunity for industry and academia to display technology, platforms, and realistic applications of wireless sensing. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness of the current state of the art and encourage future collaborations among the exhibitors and attendees.
The Wireless Sensing Demonstrator Showcase invites innovative demonstrations from industry and academia. Demos will be classified into two categories R&D systems and Commercial Products. The event will be hosted by the Sensing Technology 2010 Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham UK on Tuesday 28th September
Both wireless sensing systems developed as ‘instruments to enable scientific investigation’ and also ‘as solutions to known problems’. Demonstrators need to be end-to-end systems with achievements beyond the state of the art at one or more of the following levels: physical level, sensing level, energy harvesting, power management, data fusion, middleware, communications, information extraction, and user interfaces.
They are particularly encouraging demonstrators in the areas of body sensor networks, environmental monitoring, industrial monitoring and control, security and surveillance as well as assisted living. The demo proposals will be reviewed by a committee and the delegates of the Sensing Technology 2010 Exhibition. The ‘Best Demo Award’ will be awarded in each of the two categories based upon both the technical and innovation contribution.
