ISSNIP ECR Workshop on Sensor Networks

(ATNAC2006)

We would like to announce the ISSNIP Early Career Researcher (ECR) Workshop on Sensor Networks to be run in conjunction with The Australian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference ATNAC 2006 (http://www.atnac2006.com/) being held in Melbourne on the 4th to 6th December. The workshop itself is presently scheduled for the afternoon of December 6th (see the ATNAC web site for time/venue details).

The ISSNIP ECR Workshop is targeted towards PhD students and recent PhD graduates with a view to generating new research collaborations in the themes of ISSNIP. In order to facilitate this process a forum is planned where Workshop participants will be given the opportunity to briefly present an overview of their current work and some of the key challenges. With the ensuing discussions it is hoped that both intra and inter-disciplinary collaborations may be generated.

Instructions for presenters

 

Allowing for 20 minute slots per speaker, presentations should be in the order of 10-15 minutes, plus additional time for questions and discussions.  While informing the audience of your research area, the objective is also to generate discussion that will hopefully aid you in addressing key challenges.

 

Presentation slides:

Available equipment details will be finalised shortly.

Expected procedure:

Please send your slides (powerpoint or pdf) in advance, so that these can be made ready on a supplied PC prior to the presentation. Alternatively, make them available immediately prior to the commencement of the workshop to avoid any technical problems during the presentation. Similarly, if you must use your own laptop, please test the set up with the technical support staff immediately prior to the commencement of the workshop.
