ICTP AIT NSRC Wireless Sensor Networks Workshop

Dates: 15 - 19 Dec 2014
Location: Bangkok, Thailand
Host: Asian Institute of Technology - ​AIT
Venue: Internet Education and Research Laboratory (​intERLab)

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a network of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, air quality, etc. and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main location. This workshop will provide an introduction to WSN and into the Arduino platform in particular, through lectures and hands on sessions. It will give participants the opportunity to build their own WSN, to send data using different wireless technologies and to store measurements in online databases.

Workshop Goals

• Learn about WSN architectures
• Allow participants to build a WSN using the Arduino platform
• Learn about wireless options for WSN
• Establish a middleware to store measurements using open source tools
• Analyze existing deployments to learn how to plan a successful one

Requirements

• Some Linux/UNIX command line experience.
• Basic programming skills.

Recommended Software

• ​Download the Arduino Software (Arduino 1.0.6)
• ​FTDI driver (for the Seeeduino Stalker)
