New university subject on Wireless Sensor Networks
A specialist subject in Wireless Sensor Networks is being offered as part of an undergraduate or masters degree in engineering at The University of Queensland this semester. The subject is presented by lecturers from the CSIRO ICT Centre who are specialist researchers in this field. It will cover fundamentals of sensor networks as well as advanced topics such as synchronizaton, localization, in-network processing, sensor fusion, security and privacy. A major component of the subject will be an assignment to develop a practical sensor network.
More information, including the course outline is available at the University of Queensland course information page.
The subject has been developed by, and will be presented by Dr Raja Jurdak (CSIRO course coordinator), Dr Tim Wark, Dr Branislav Kusy, Dr Wen Hu and Dr Michael Bruenig. (Biographies available via the links below).
