Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks
About
Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks (WASNs) are most commonly referred to as wireless interconnections of a large number of sensor nodes, communicating without any pre-existing infrastructure. WASN technologies will have huge influence on many civilian and military applications, including for example national security, transportation systems, healthcare and environmental monitoring. WASN has received tremendous attention from both academia and industry worldwide, Known as a leader in applied computer research and education, University of Colombo School of Computing (UCSC) will together with the technical expertise provided by Ericsson and Volvo build a national R&D and education centre for WASN, financed by SPIDER.
The main objectives of this project is to:
- Setup a R&D centre for WASN
- Conduct applied research specially in environmental monitoring and health care
- Develop WASN applications to solve real-life problems in Sri Lanka
- Enhance the WASN education in Sri Lanka
