Sensors, at your Service!

Agenda | Directions | Previous meetings

This by-invitation-only day will include talks on existing or planned "sensor networks"-based Services, as well as a discussion of what a reasonable roadmap for research and development in this field will look like. As we enter a new era of Services-based economies, we see a strong move towards a plethora of networked information devices, such as sensors, providing us with a unique opportunity for the development of new highly interdisciplinary academic studies as well as new Services covering Healthcare, Energy and the Environment. These new challenges will be discussed in our workshop as will their technical, legal and complex systemic implications.
