I am currently working on the EU funded project CHOSeN whose objective is to research the application of wireless sensor networks and communication in automotive and aeronautic scenarios. My focus within the project is on the development of scalable communication protocols as well as a QoS middleware. My research interests include context and activity recognition in embedded systems with emphasis on distributed recognition systems.
Our PERVASIVE demo was a success! For everyone who is interested in the dinam-mites, stay tuned to the dinam Project Page for schematics, code and news, all coming soon!
