  challenges.
• D. Rychaudhuri of Rutgers WINS Lab discuss
  research challenges in Sensor Nets and Pervasive
  Computing. He also gave an excellent presentation
  on how to write effective grant proposals!

3
Research Challenges in Sensor Networks from
Vijay Raghavan of DARPA

• Extreme Scale
• Auto Calibration of UGS Network
• Collaborative Signal Processing
• Robust Self-Localization
• Deployment (Coverage/Communications)
• Self-Stablization (based on local info
  distributed control
• Platform Improvement
• Composition of diverse applications from a suite
  of algorithms/protocols optimized for specific
  platforms

4
Research Challenges in Sensor Networks

• Security of sensor networks (Authentication
  intrusion tolerance)
• Energy Source
• Models of computing for sensor networks.Investiga
  te complexity measures that expose trade-off,
  platform independent, semantic of basic
  operations
• Query of sensor networks (support distributed DB)
• High fidelity simulation tools for characterizing
  performance (terraindeploy statistics)
• Programming in the large A new language/compiler
  that support the delay binding based on
  deployment characteristics, remote re-programming
  for bug fixes, adapting to environment
