A two-day national workshop on wireless sensor networks for health care and environmental monitoring (WSNHEM-14) was inaugurated on Friday at GMR Institute of Technology, Rajam, of Srikakulam.
The objective of conducting workshop is to explain how wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been used in agriculture and habitat monitoring. As environmental monitoring has become an important field of control and protection providing real time systems and control communication with the physical world, the importance of intelligent and smart wireless sensors increased. WSN technologies are considered as one of the key research areas in engineering and heath care application industries for improving the quality of life.
The project engineers Prateek , Jamal and Bhadram acted as resource persons on the first day. In charge principal, Dr. M.V. Nageswara Rao emphasised the potentiality of the WSN in the research field. Head of the Department, B.I. Neelgar and programme coordinator S.S.D. Kameswari were among those present in the inaugural function.
