SCOPE
-------------------------------------------------------------
With recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), their practical
applications in general sensing and monitoring are rapidly broadening.
Although originally conceived for wide area environment or process
monitoring, WSNs are increasingly being used in human computer interaction,
brain computer interaction, gaming, and interactive digital arts, as well as
in healthcare and patient monitoring. Despite the recent technological
developments in sensing, embedded electronics, and sensor networking,
several challenging issues need to be addressed. In particular,
technological scaling, wireless communication and networking, sensor data
processing and presentation are key aspects that need to be investigated in
an integrated fashion for enabling visionary applications in the above areas
of WSN.
