Optimization Issues and Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks With Mobile Sink

Overview Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a new kind of ad-hoc wireless network that will probably bring new progress on the paradigm of pervasive computing. Many applications have already been envisioned for WSNs, such as: support for traffic engineering, providing information about traffic conditions, motor cars flows, etc; animal life monitoring and environment variables measurement, reporting values of temperature, dampness, brightness, etc.

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

The NOW project believes that once cars are networked on an ad hoc basis, they could share their sensor and positional data with other cars in close proximity, thereby cutting down the accidents caused by blind corners, attention lapses and...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
