Cambridge Wireless and Univ. Of Cambridge Eiffel Project announces master class in Wireless Sensing.

This master class will debate openly about the challenges of growing a company and the business issues faced and how these were addressed and resolved, their problems, and how they overcame them.

Kevin Coleman, Project Director for Discovering Start-Ups said, “The programme is delighted to be enabling events which will help businesses understand the growth issues that companies face. The conflicts that can occur between the need to develop the technology and the need to develop the business have to be tackled and this is an ideal opportunity to work through the issues.”

The presenters at this event, Dr. Tapani Ryhänan from Nokia Research, and Paul Green from Arkessa, will take an in depth look at real life opportunities in implementing sensing technology, and expose the barriers preventing the development from taking place.

“With the cost of sensors reducing there is an increasing tendency to deploy more field devices over a greater area. This means that more effective remote communication is required and the real challenge becomes how to make sense of ‘too much data’. Coupling such facilities with remote visual verification increases operational effectiveness and creates an interesting added dimension to the sensing environment” says Paul Green from Arkessa.

The audience will have their opportunity to make suggestions, ask questions, and put forward solutions to these obstacles too. In an interactive panel session with the speakers after the presentations, all the information put forward will be captured by a mind mapping technique that has been developed by the University of Cambridge.

“We want the audience to have this information. By using this mind mapping technique, the audience will be able to take the ideas away and apply them to their own situations” says Dr. Dirk Trossen from the Eiffel Project, University of Cambridge, who is a regular user of this technique.

Guaranteed to stir ideas, this joint event between the Cambridge Wireless Sensing SIG and University of Cambridge Eiffel project is free to attend.
