Title: Energy-Conserving Quality-Aware Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks

Speaker: Dr. Jianliang Xu, Department of Computer Science, Hong Kong Baptist University

Abstract:

Energy efficiency is a critical consideration in the design of a wireless sensor network. In this talk, we present our recent research efforts on precision-constrained data collection in wireless sensor networks. The objective is to exploit the trade-off between data quality and communication cost to extend network lifetime. Both one-shot queries and continuous queries are studied. We propose a two-tier data collection architecture in support of various types of one-shot queries. Under this architecture, strategies for query processing and the issue of optimal precision setting are examined. We also extend our research to the more complex and challenging continuous aggregate queries, where the precision constraint of data aggregation is partitioned and distributed to the sensor nodes involved. Precision allocation and distribution techniques for this unique problem are developed. For more details of this project, please visit

Biography:

Jianliang Xu received his BEng degree in computer science and engineering from Zhejiang University in 1998, and his PhD degree in computer science from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2002. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University. His research interests include mobile and pervasive computing, wireless sensor networks, and distributed systems, with an emphasis on data management. He has published over 50 technical papers in these areas, many in prestigious journals and conferences, including ACM SIGMOD, ACM/USENIX MobiSys, IEEE ICDE, INFOCOM, TKDE, TPDS, TMM, TC, JSAC, and VLDBJ. He is a co-editor of a book entitled “Web Content Delivery” published by Springer. He has also served as a session chair and program committee member for many international conferences, including IEEE INFOCOM, IEEE MDM,

and ACM SAC. He is a program committee co-chair of International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Information Management (P2PIM'06).
