Scope

Early prototyping has proven to be an essential methodology to evaluate wireless sensing systems. Furthermore, it offers an excellent way to assess the applicability of the technology against real user requirements and to promote its market adoption. Building on last year's successful event www.wisig.org/showcase2008, the Wireless Sensing Interest Group (WiSIG) of the Sensors & Instrumentation Knowledge Transfer Network (SIKTN) is organising a Demonstrator Showcase to provide an opportunity for industry and academia to display technology, platforms, and realistic applications of wireless sensing. The purpose of the event is to raise awareness of the current state of the art and encourage future collaborations among the exhibitors and attendees

Topics

We are inviting innovative demonstrations from industry and academia which will be classified into two categories:
a) R&D systems and b) Commercial products.

We welcome both wireless sensing systems developed as 'instruments to enable scientific investigation' and also 'as solutions to known problems'. Demonstrators need to be end-to-end systems with achievements beyond the state of the art at one or more of the following levels: physical level, sensing level, data fusion, middleware, communications, information extraction, and user interfaces.

Alternatively, the novelty may lie in the application itself, the business model, the integration of technologies (e.g. interfacing mobile broadband infrastructure) and deployment issues (e.g. encapsulation, environmental regulations). We are particularly encouraging demonstrators in the areas of body sensor networks, environmental monitoring, industrial monitoring and control, security and surveillance as well as assisted living.

Proceedings

All accepted demonstrators are required to submit a 6 pages demo descriptor paper which will be published in the event's proceedings.

Awards

The demo proposals will be reviewed by a committee and a 'Best Demo Award' will be awarded in each of the two categories based upon both the technical and innovation contribution, while abstracts of accepted demos will be published in a delegates pack.
