Theme
Grounded in the belief that processors, sensors, and wireless radios
are becoming extremely small and inexpensive, we can foresee a world
where everyday objects are globally networked and physical environments
are enriched by computational power. As enabling technologies for such
a smart world, sensor networks and intelligent objects have not only received
much attention from researchers in recent times, but also first prototypes
of such systems have been deployed. These technologies do not only provide
online access to and control over the state of the real world, but enable
the creation of novel real-world services.
Goals and Audience
The goal of the summer school is to survey fundamentals of sensor networks
and networked intelligent objects, as well as to identify novel
opportunities and research directions in these areas through a series of
lectures by international experts. Participants can experience the
relevant technologies during
hands-on courses and can present their
own work during a
participant's workshop. The school will provide a
good opportunity to get to know other people working in the field, to meet
distinguished scholars, and to establish contacts that may lead to research
collaborations in the future. We expect about 60 participants - the intended
audience are post-graduate students, PhD students, and young researchers
from universities and industrial laboratories around the world.
