ISSNIP Research Themes
Research Agenda
The broad research agenda of the network will cover four major themes with close collaboration between the themes. Each of the themes will be steered by network research strategist. The themes are:- Smart sensors and Biomimetics
- Sensor Networks
- Optimisation and Scheduling
- Surveillance and Monitoring
There have been some previous cross collaborations between the teams and this structure maximizes the network collaboration in all directions. The collaboration from the teams at MIT (USA) and at LSU (USA) is also substantial and they would bring resources complementing the existing network team. The younger investigators will be able to interact with the overseas team substantially on a range of projects. It is estimated that there will be about 120 post graduate research students (as of 2005) who will benefit from the network.
Research Themes
The following research themes emerged after three successful meetings with experts in different field over a period 2 months. The list covers most of the major areas in the field but is incomplete. A couple of theme areas would be added in the due course.- Intelligent Sensors
Nanotechnology-Enabled Sensors
Biosensors - Sensor Networks
Sensor Scheduling and optimisation
Data Fusion & Tracking - Information Processing
Surveillance and Monitoring
Machine Learning - Biomimetics
Biologically Inspired Sensor Fusion
Biomimetics for Tracking and vision systems
