The State of Wireless Sensor Networks

The continuous size and cost reduction of electronic devices is gradually making the vision of ubiquitous wireless sensors networks a reality. After almost a decade of extensive research, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are in the midst of the transition towards industrial deployment in various application domains such as automotive, environmental monitoring, health care, energy management, and building and industrial automation. BAIA presents a panel of outstanding experts from the academia and the industry who have played an essential role in the history and development of WSNs, including Crossbow's President/CEO, Mike Horton.

BAIA has organized an outstanding panel that will explore the state of wireless sensor networks on the evening of October 8th at UC Berkeley. Panelists include:

• Prof. David Culler, UC Berkeley, CTO and Co-Founder Arch Rock
• Mike Horton, CEO and Co-Founder Crossbow
• Prof. Raju Pandey, UC Davis, CTO and Co-Founder Synapsense
• Prof. Kris Pister, UC Berkeley, CTO and Co-Founder Dust Networks
• Dr. Joe Polastre, CTO and Co-Founder Sentilla
• Prof. Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, UC Berkeley, CTA and Co-Founder Cadence Design Systems

Questions addressed will include:

- What applications will drive the mass deployment of WSNs both in the short and in the long term?
- What players will be most successful in the WSN domain and what business model will they adopt?
- What are the main barriers before wide adoption of WSNs?
- When will the deployment of WSNs happen in large volumes?
