RP @ The Tron-Show, Tokyo International Forum


This project, collaborated between Renesas, Institute for Infocomm Research and Republic Polytechnic Singapore, is to demonstrate how a collaborative sensor network can be developed and deployed using T-Engine. A collaborative sensor network is capable of detecting events and forwarding the collected information to interested sinks, which can be used to facilitate system control. One proposed application is temperature sensing in warehouse environments for perishable goods.

Test Bed Setup :

• An information sink, a PC or PDA, signals its information interests using a Graphical User Interface over the wireless link.
• Interests are propagated through the whole wireless sensor network.
• Sensors monitor temperatures and send data back to the sink through the sensor network.
• Sink displays temperatures graphically to users for further processing.

Features :

• Applicable to various applications.
• Customized user interests.
• Real-time event handling.
• Ad-hoc deployment.
• Energy saving solution.


More about the TRON-Show :

• Only 2 educational institutions from Singapore were present. One from RP and the other from NTU.
• The show was visited by 3 cabinet ministers, many senior government officials and 20 members of parliament from Japan.
• There were also 4 senior Korean researchers and 2 Korean government VIP present.
