SNRC Industry Seminar - "Pervasive Indeterminate Measurement Systems"

Abstract: In recent years there has been considerable interest in non-traditional measurement systems. In this presentation we discuss an architecture based on the use of consumer devices as measurement and control platforms, and scatter-nets. Together these two rather different measurement platforms form a distributed measurement architecture well suited to problems involving large spatial extent, that require a high degree of operational flexibility, and which are amenable to statistical sampling. We shall outline the characteristics of this architecture and the new research problems that it raises.
