CYCORE – Information Technology Tools Helping With Clinical Trials

submitted by: mdanderson
CYCORE (Cyberinfrastructure for Comparative Effectiveness Research) was a clinical trial conducted by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of California-San Diego and University of Alabama at Birmingham, that studied the use of sensing devices to wirelessly send health-related data from the patient’s home to the cancer research facility. The purpose of this study is for other researchers to use CYCORE’s technology to gather more detailed information in their own...

From sensor selection to data return: lessons learned (Panel Session)

submitted by: kkwaiser
Each panel member was asked to open with a 5-7 minute narrative based on personal experience on the topic of advanced aquatic sensors. Team assembly, funding avenues, technology considerations, and any of the minutia involved in deploying and operating advanced aquatic sensors may be discussed. This talk and others were part of the Advanced Aquatic Sensors (AAS) Workshop funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and held at the University of Michigan Biological Station from September...

Autonomous Sensor Networks for Water Quality and Biodiversity Assessment

submitted by: kkwaiser
Many marine and freshwater water environments are too large and dynamic for efficient and cost effective data collection by sensor networks or robotic systems alone. Wireless surface and underwater sensor networks allow large-scale data collection although at a generally lower spatial resolution. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) offer continuous data collection capabilities at a more localised (transect) scale. A method for improving capture of...

Pervasive Location Tracking: A Privacy Protection Perspective

submitted by: spatial
Numerous visions have been suggested for protecting personal information privacy in pervasive sensing and computing environments. This presentation argues that some visions are better than others and suggests how the research community can help us arrive at better societal solutions.

Research on Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks

This video discusses ongoing collaborative research on energy efficient wireless sensor networks by UCSD's Computer Science and Engineering department, with a substantial focus on experimentation at San Diego State University's Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve.

HPWREN-enabled hydrologgy sensors at the San Diego State University's Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve

submitted by: Monika
Water quality assessments are becoming more and more critical in Southern California and elsewhere. This video describes ongoing activities related to HPWREN-enabled real-time hydrology sensors at San Diego State University's Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve. Both permanent and mobile approaches are being discussed.
