Title : Sensing and monitoring the water environment using Cognitive group-based collaborative sensor network
Abstract :Grouping nodes gives better performance to the group and to the whole system, thereby avoiding unnecessary message forwarding and additional overheads, thus providing low energy consumption. Grouping nodes also diminishes the average network delay while allows to scale the network considerably. Communications in sensor networks should be as efficient as possible and collaborative methods can enhance their performance. Group-based collaborative wireless sensor networks appear as the proper logical step. When a Wireless Sensor Network is deployed, environment data can be obtained using two sides. The first one is the direct sensing, where the information is measured physically from the medium. The second one is the indirect sensing, which provides the information using the parameters of the wireless network (Received Signal Strength, lost frames, disconnections, etc.) and from the behavior of the traffic and the nodes of the network. Both can be mixed to have a complete picture of what is happening in the aquatic medium and to estimate the right prediction. In this talk, a cognitive group-based collaborative wireless sensor network for controlling water pollution and underwater monitoring is presented. Discussions about the network parameters that are affected by the environment, how they can be used for environmental monitoring, and their relationship with what is happening in the environment, will be held. Self-learning algorithms, techniques for the representation of the knowledge acquired from the environment, and information management are added to the wireless sensor network in order to have an efficient system. Moreover, the group-based system lets the network send the information according to several cooperation rules and taken decisions. Some examples for wide areas monitoring and for small size areas monitoring in real aquatic scenarios will be shown.- Prof. Jaime Lloret (jlloret@dcom.upv.es) received his B.Sc.+M.Sc. in Physics in 1997, his B.Sc.+M.Sc. in electronic Engineering in 2003 and his Ph.D. in telecommunication engineering (Dr. Ing.) in 2006.
