IIP Sensor Networks
Kicked off in April 2008Paul Havinga, Jan Maas, Sensor Universe
Several meetings of ‘tables’Care and lifestyleMobility, logisticsConnections with HBOWaterSafety
Formally approved December 1, 2008
STW programme "Autonomous Sensor Systems“
ASCI Spring school Wireless Sensor Networks, 2008
FES 2009
Focus on ‘Cooperative Embedded Intelligence’Embedded Systems InstituteSmart SurroundingsFreeband
Several project proposals around the application of sensor networks
Public safetyTransport, logistics, enterprise efficiencyLarge scale networksDistributed reasoning, well being and well workingIndustrial safety
Strong industrial participationSMEs and large industries
ConclusionLots of (mainly) individual activities in research
