Recent emergence of very large number of diverse sensors and sensor networks has the potential to impact on the quality of all areas of life. Scientific challenges in realizing this potential is significant because of the multidisciplinary nature and complexities involved. This research network builds on the best scientific talent available in the interdisciplinary areas (biology, mathematics, statistics, computing, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering) with the best overseas scientific teams to solve the underlying scientific problems to enable the Australian industry to exploit and apply this technology in areas of defence, health care and environment. The focus of the netowrk is:

• Micro and Nano Sensors
• Distributed Sensor Networks
• Surveillance and Monitoring
• Sensor Fusion and Tracking
• Scheduling and Optimisation
• Machine Intelligence

This new initiative will address the constrained multi-sensor problems to develop intelligent, economically viable solutions of value to defence, homeland security, health sciences and environment. By drawing inspiration from biological multi-sensor systems and practical insights from their artificial counterparts, this initiative will address the fundamental problems relevant to the central theme of the network with an interdisciplinary approach.
