------------------------------------------------------------------------ What: IPSN '09 Extreme Sensing Competition When: April 13, 2009 Deadline: March 25, 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Details: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~whitehouse/ipsn09competition ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IPSN '09 will be hosting the Extreme Sensing competition April 13, 2009, help at CPS week in conjunction with RTAS and HSCC. To participate, each team will need to build a sensor system using 7 sensors or less that can perform dead reckoning as people walk along predefined paths through a 10m x 10m arena. Each team can use up to 5 body sensors and at most 2 sensors placed in the arena. In Phase 1, all teams will track conference attendees, estimating their total distance traveled. Results will be broadcast live during Phase 1, providing each team an opportunity to discern how the other teams' systems work and how they might fail. In Phase 2, this information can be used to prevent the other teams from scoring more points, as each team gets one chance to walk through the arena themselves while suited up with their opponents' sensors. For more details about the competition, and how to enter, visit the URL listed above. Pending the availability of sponsorship support, the organizers plan to make available student travel grants to enable their participation in the competition. Information about student travel grants will announced in the near future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- 8< ------------------------ - - - - Thomas Nolte Researcher, Mälardalen Real-Time Research Centre (MRTC) Mälardalen University, Västerås, SWEDEN Phone: +46(0)21 103178 Cell: +46(0)708 657551 Fax: +46(0)21 103110 Mail: thomas.no...@mdh.se More info at: http://www.mrtc.mdh.se/index.phtml?choice=staff&id=0099 _______________________________________________ uai mailing list uai@ENGR.ORST.EDU https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/uai
