Michal Jarocinski, Warsaw University of Technology | Telematics, telemedicine, environment monitoring, home applications and control, security and surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications of wireless sensor networks. Thanks to its broad range of possible applications and potential to change the way we interact with our environment, wireless sensor networks have gained a lot of attention in the research world and are becoming increasingly popular in business world as well. The goal of this summer school is to:
The intended audience consists of post-graduate students, PhD students, and young researchers from universities and industrial laboratories around the world. We expect about 40 participants. ProgramThe summer school will last for 5 days and will feature a number of different activities: Lectures: Each day will feature lectures and discussions around a research theme like programming of sensor networks, integration of WSN with mobile networks, security in WSN, ZigBee vs. Bluetooth, remote health monitoring, etc. Lecturers include Srdjan Krco (Ericsson Ireland), Kees Lokhorst (Wageningen University), Sotiris Nikoletseas (University of Patras, Greece), Martin Ouwerkerk (Philips Research), and Konrad Wrona (SAP Research).
Social activities: One day is scheduled for an excursion, a dinner party will be organized as well as other social activities which should help to form a community among the young researchers Detailed agenda will be announced later. VenueThe summer school will take place at the Faculty Electronics and Information Technology (http://www.elka.pw.edu.pl/), Warsaw University of Technology (http://www.pw.edu.pl/), Poland. Warsaw (http://www.e-warsaw.pl/) belongs to one of the most dynamic cities in the world. It has been the capital city of Poland and an important cultural centre for four hundred years. In recent years, this metropolis with its 2 million inhabitants has developed into one of the most interesting cities in Eastern Europe. The oldest and most beautiful part of the city on the Vistula is the Old Town, which has been declared a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO. Not without reason Warsaw is also called the green city. Not only is it surrounded by the circle of forests of the National Kampinowski Park and Celestynowskie, Otwockie, Chojnowskie Forests which belong to Mazovian and Chojnowski Landscape Park but also houses the real treasures of nature within its borders. The beautiful parks, squares and forests around the city favour the relax in the bosom of nature. It is also worth visiting the area of Vistula River. The queen of Polish rivers divides Warsaw freely meandering in its channel, half wild, creating islands, backwaters and sandy beaches. Vistula causes that vibrant with life metropolis, seen from the bird`s-eye view, looks like beautiful, green island. Warsaw is the city in which modernity meets with history at every turn. One can see the marks of bullets in old walls but modern architecture successfully competes with the monuments. This city, famous for concerts and festivals, is attractive for the music enthusiasts. This is the city of Frederick Chopin and Chopin Competitions. The city resounds with music of a great romantic and jazz music and very modern music created by the young generation of Polish artists. One may listen to it in concert halls, in the Old Town or in clubs. The clubs favour social meetings - clubbing, that is fashionable entertainment for which the youth of Warsaw, especially students who constitute a group of 300 thousand active, young citizens of this almost two-million metropolis, has liking. It is also worth becoming convinced that in the promotional slogan: "Fall in love with Warsaw" there is no exaggeration! Registration, cost and travelling
