Funded Activity Summary

Optimal Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks. Wireless sensor networks consist of coordinated sensing devices that offer us new ways to understand and interact with the physical world. Australia is a leading player in developing such networks. For a given technology, the key to both optimising the quality of area monitoring and minimising the cost of a sensor network lies in deciding how best to deploy the sensors. We aim to develop powerful new methods to get the best performance from a planned sensor network. This will enhance Australia's research role in this area and directly benefit applications such as national security and environmental monitoring.
