**** DCOSS 2012: Call for Participation **** * *
*Note: Early Registration Deadline is 30 April, 2012.* * * ******************************************************************** * * *Keynote Wednesday May 16, 2012* * * [image: Kung Yao]*Kung Yao* Distinguished Professor – Electrical Engineering Department University of California, Los Angeles, United States *Title: Beamforming for DOA and Localization in Sensor Networks* * * Abstract: Sensor networks have been proposed for various commercial, industrial, scientific, and military applications. In this seminar, we consider three different classes of acoustical beamforming arrays. The first array uses four uniformly-spaced hearing aid microphones to perform a steerable array based on the maximum-energy criterion for hearing aid applications. The second array uses randomly distributed microphones to perform wideband beamforming based on a maximum eigenvector array for vehicle detection, localization, and signal enhancement. The third array is based on the Approximate Maximum-Likelihood (AML) criterion to estimate single or multiple acoustic sources for near-field localization and far-field direction-of-arrival estimations. This array is capable of various beamforming and nulling operations. Several wired and wireless experimental systems based on the three classes of arrays have been implemented for various applications. We will also present some recent bio-complexity applications to field monitoring, detection, and localization of birds and animals. Various sound demonstrations will also be given. * * Kung Yao received the B.S.E. (Highest Honors), M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering all from Princeton University, Princeton, N.J.

Various existing models for wireless sensor and actuator networks are elaborated. It then concentrates on the network layer issues in wireless sensor and sensor-actuator networks. Coordination between sensors and robots, and robot to robot coordination are then covered with some concrete problem formulations. These include robot dispersion, communication aspects of robot coordination, robot task allocation, and sensor placement and relocation to improve sensing area coverage. * * Ivan Stojmenovic received his Ph.D. degree in mathematics.
