Breakout Groups

Application requirements

Coordinator: Alex Labrinidis

  • Applications: beyond dumb data collection and aggregation.
  • From microscopes to macroscopes: sensing and response for the masses.
  • How much data do you really need? Multi-resolution data acquisition.
  • Location-awareness: is there anything new under the sun? Ditto for mobility.

Architectures

Coordinator: Vladimir Zadorozhny

  • Heterogeneous sensor networks: a blessing in disguise?
  • Getting the best out of your sensor network: Physical Network Design and Management.
  • In-network or out-of-network: Where do processing and storage happen?
  • Mobile sensors: matchmaking of users, devices, data and code?

Models and Programmability

Coordinator: Ugur Cetintemel

  • Programming the world: Can (Stream)SQL be the intergalactic sensor network language? What is it missing, e.g., mobility?
  • Autonomous sensor networks: Are complex events/triggers part of the answer and what do we do about it?
  • From data to information to knowledge: learning and inference over sensor networks.
  • Uncertainty and missing data: (how) can you handle it?

Implementation and Evaluation

Coordinator: Vijay Kumar

  • Are we working on the right problems (e.g., is energy the real bottleneck?; do we need to scale to 1000's of motes?)
  • Privacy and security: What's wrong with Nike iPod and how to fix it?
  • KISS versus Self-*: Balancing Simplicity and Featurism
  • Experimental testbeds: From an idea to deployment. Can GENI be of help?
