Keynote - "Evolution of Hive Network Technology: Multitudes of wireless
devices and networks have recently emerged: Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth,
ZigBee, RFID to name a few. Device convergence, using Software Defined
Radio for example, can be an enabling factor for Hive Networks." Jon
Adams is the director of Radio Technology and Strategy
for Freescale Semiconductor, and is an expert in wireless systems and
communications, with his current focus on ZigBee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX and
cellular 3G technologies. |

Lunch
panel: Wireless Health - Providing quality healthcare in the face of
increasing incidence of disease, an aging population, and soaring costs
is a daunting task. One possibility is Wireless Health, a new
technology combining ubiquitous wireless networks and portable consumer
devices with wireless, wearable sensor monitoring. Our panel will
describe the problem, discuss potential solutions, identify policy
issues and suggest opportunities for wireless deployments.
Panelists - Roozbeh Jafari, UT-Dallas; Jayant "JP" Parthasarathy, Nonin Medical; David Arvelo, FDA; |
Brown
Bag Convocation - bring your lunch and discuss issues relevant to
developing Hive Networks. Learn what others are doing to find potential
partners and collaborators. |
