It has been a long time since the last (also the second) post on this blog, but that's what you get when the person maintaining the blog takes a four-month holiday :D.
Since the 3rd of august work on wireless sensor networks has resumed, in multiple directions:

• The ALwEN project goes on in its normal state of operation: a meeting every two or three weeks where all participating researchers have a chance to share their work and findings, a good place for cross-pollination of ideas.
  
• The STORM project has finally started last May. Whereas the ALwEN project is highly research oriented (i.e. what are the properties of large scale networks, how to organize/configure such a network, etc), STORM is more development oriented. The goal is to develop all necessary materials to solve two well-defined applications: tracking & tracing and greenhouse monitoring.
  
• A new project has started: CCF2 Onafhankelijk Wonen. This project is geared towards creating a true product that can be used to assist elderly people in living independently for a longer time.
  
• Another project, ELS, will still have to start some day in the future. ELS (Experiments with Large-Scale sensor networks) will have as a goal to experiment with large scale sensor networks (a lot can be in a name).

Additionally, we will hopefully soon welcome two more colleagues who will dedicate their time to the topic of Wireless Sensor Networks. Thus, the Sense wheels truly are in motion again.
