CMPSCI 691UN: Seminar
Underwater Networking and Sensing
Spring 2008
Overview: A shift is underway in the fields of oceanic and environmental research towards mobile sensornets with mixed RF-acoustic links and mobile platforms over expansive geographic ranges. These fields are seeing an increasingly central role for sensors and sensornets, disruption-tolerant networking, acoustic communications, and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). We will investigate recent works in these topics that are enabling this change in the context of scenarios that are littoral, at the water's surface, at the sub-surface, and at the water's bottom, for both stationary and mobile devices.
The seminar will be a joint effort with research partners from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, UMass Lowell, and UMass Dartmouth. 1 credit.
This class will meet weekly from 12:00 - 1:30 PM each Friday during the Spring 2008 semester
