The Workshop:
WISP (Wireless
Identification and Sensing Platform) is a platform for sensing and computation
that is powered and read by standard RFID readers. WISPs are being used in a
variety of contexts, from wirelessly powered sensor networks to computational
RFID. To seed the growth of a WISP community, Intel has distributed WISPs
to academic applicants through a program known as the WISP Challenge.
Participants in the WISP Challenge program are particularly encouraged to
participate in the workshop. This workshop is for the presentation of any
research on wirelessly powered sensor networks, computational RFID, and related
topics, regardless of what hardware platform is used for the implementation:
- RF power harvesting
- Sensing protocols for RFID
- Wirelessly powered sensing applications
- Computational RFID applications
- RFID privacy and security
Submission and registration:
The program has been finalized and registration is closed.
To communicate with the organizers, please send email to
wisp-summit-submission@cs.umass.edu.
Proceedings:
A volume of papers surveying this area will be published in 2010. The best
contributions from the workshop will be selected for inclusion in this volume.
