Sensors and sensor networks have attracted a lot of attention recently due to their indispensable role in several areas such as health care, environment, energy, energy system, automation engineering, food safety, national security, and missile manufacturing. Present R&D activities are focusing on more sensitive and powerful sensor systems with increased performance and functionality.
Sensors are playing a vital role in almost all areas of Engineering, Technology and medicine. Advanced sensors are employed to detect trace quantities of nuclear, chemical, and biological agents and explosives. When deployed at the nation’s ports, bridges, tunnels, and transportation hubs, these sensors can help law enforcement agencies intercept these dangerous materials. Emerging areas of nanotechnology are paving way for the development of miniature nanosensors which are becoming more popular particularly in the areas of medical diagnosis and biotechnology applications.
The advances in miniaturization, low power circuit designs, low power wireless communication systems and other networking techniques have enabled new technological vision of advanced wireless sensor networks and other integrated networking possible. From engineering and computing perspective, sensor networks offer a rich variety of issues that includes sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases and communication protocols.
It is imperative to organize a conference focusing on sensors and networks to bring together the academia, industry and R&D organizations around the world to share their innovative ideas, research experience and establish collaborations for further developmental activities in these areas.VIT University in association with UAS Karlsruhe, Germany and I GCAR, Kalpakkam successfully organized SENNET-07 in the month of December 2007.
In view of the role of improved sensors and sensor networks in many areas, and because of constant requests and inspiration from the participants and well- wishers, we are planning to organize it in every 2 years. This year, they plan to conduct from 7 – 10 in the month of December, 2009.
