7th Summer School on IoT/M2M and Applications of Smart and Connected Devices senZations'12

 

September 3 - September 7, 2012, Drvengrad, Serbia http://senzations.cttc.es

Design and deploy your own IoT/M2M solutions in the magical environment of Drvengrad and run experiments on the SmartSantander framework!

Learn about the latest achievements in the field of IoT and M2M from the experts coming from the EU FP7 projects EXALTED, LOLA, HOBNET and SmartSantander!

Join us, have fun, meet peers and experienced researchers, expand your network of contacts.

 

The senZations summer school has become an annual event on the agenda of young researchers in Europe. Covering a range of novel topics from wireless sensor networks to M2M to Internet of Things and their applications with support of excellent lecturers and senior researchers from academy and industry, the senZations have attracted more than 300 students during the past six events.

The aim of the summer school is to: * Run experiments on SmartSantander framework including a live deployment in Drvengrad * Present the latest results, trends, activities and applications in the IoT and M2M domain * Identify novel research opportunities, important challenges and research directions * Demonstrate existing prototypes and demos - and implement new ones! * Interact with experienced researchers and establish new contacts * Have fun and enjoy the beauty of the Serbian mountains while acquiring new skills and expertise
