SNIGM 2012 - 2nd International workshop on Sensor Networks for Intelligence Gathering and Monitoring

Wireless sensor devices can sense physical measurements such as temperature, humidity, vibrations, speed, acceleration, images etc. and provide valuable information for a real-time monitoring systems. The improved processing capabilities and reliability of wireless communication systems enable the use of these sensor devices to create efficient monitoring systems which improve processes and their management functions.
Applications that require continuous monitoring belong to one or more broad categories such as Healthcare, Emergency, Security, Energy, ITC industries, Mining, Military and many more. From a networking point of view, sensor devices span from a small Personal Area Network to a large Metropolitan Area Network and the placement of the sensor nodes can be on a human body, objects, buildings or outdoor facilities.
This workshop aims to showcase the research and innovations among industries and academia communities and gives them a platform to share their knowledge in various areas of sensor applications. A discussion about the critical aspects such as reliability, battery lifetime, network design, efficiency and effectiveness of the system in saving energy is desired in order to highlight the key concepts which lead researchers in this field to move toward a greener world.
