In conjunction with the BSN 2009 Workshop, a BSN Platform Tutorial will be run on June 6 2009 at UC Berkeley.
The BSN platform tutorial is designed for
students, engineers and researchers who are working on or interested in
BSN related research. The tutorial will begin with an introduction on
the concept of BSN, its motivations, applications, technologies and
research directions. It will follow by a number of hands-on sessions
showing how to use the new BSN development kit to develop prototypes
and systems for BSN related research. In addition, we are going to
introduce the new concept of VSN and present the brand new VSN platform.
Each registered attendee will receive a new BSN development kit v3.

BSN Platform Tutorial
| |
10:00 – 10:30
|
Session 1 - Introduction to Body Sensor Networks
Introduce
the current state-of-the-art in wireless sensor networks and its
significance and future applications to sensing and monitoring devices
for healthcare.
| | 10:30 – 11:00 |
Session 2 - Hardware and Installation
Introduce
the basic architecture and extensibility of the BSN node for different
sensing environments both for healthcare applications and general
wireless sensor networks. | | 11:00 – 11:30 | Break | | 11:30 – 12:00 |
Session 3 - Introduction to Programming Environment
Introduce the major concepts required to program the BSN node applications. | | 12:00 – 12:30 |
Session 4 - BSN Programming (hands-on session)
Hands
on session on BSN node programming. This session will illustrate how to
build, debug, and run applications on the BSN node.
| |
12:30 – 14:00
|
Lunch Break
| |
14:00 – 14:45
|
Session 5 - BSN Sensor Interface (hands-on session)
Hands
on session on sensor data acquisition with the BSN node. This session
will illustrate how to interface different sensors with the BSN node
and program the BSN node to acquire sensor data.
| | 14:45 – 15:30 |
Session 6 - Wireless Sensing
Introduce
the concept and theory of packet broadcasting, how to form wireless
sensor network, and issues related to message hopping. It will also
illustrate a simple multi-hop data propagation method that allows data
to be collected by a central location.
| | 15:30 – 16:00 | Break | | 16:00 – 17:00 |
Session 7 - Introduction to Vision Sensor Networks (VSN)
Introduce
the novel concept of VSN, and how it can complement the BSN and be
applied in healthcare, well-being, and sports applications. The new
VSN platform will be presented follow by demonstrations.
| | 17:00 – 17:30 | Session 8 - Q&A and Conclusion |
