Colloquium: Virtual Localisation for Robust Geographic Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks, Dr. Ahmet Sekercioglu (Monash University, Australia), Thursday, May 5, 2011, 12:00-13:00 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Virtual Localisation for Robust Geographic Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
 |
Speaker: Dr. Ahmet Sekercioglu |
Abstract:
Geographic routing protocols are well suited to wireless sensor
networks because of their modest resource requirements A major
limiting factor in their implementation is the requirement of location
information. The virtual localisation
algorithm provides the functionality of geographic routing without any
knowledge of node locations by constructing a virtual coordinate
system. It differs from similar algorithms by improving efficiency –
greedy routing performs significantly better over virtual locations
than over physical locations. The algorithm was
tested and evaluated in a real network environment.
Short Bio:
Dr. Ahmet Sekercioglu is a member of the academic staff at the
Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering of Monash
University, Melbourne, Australia. He was the leader of the
Applications Program of Australian Telecommunications CRC until the
completion of the centre's research activities (December 2007). He has
completed his PhD degree at Swinburne University of Technology, BSc
and MSc degrees (all in Electrical and Electronics Engineering) at
Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey. He lectured at
Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia for 8
years. Prior to his academic career, he held numerous positions as a
research engineer in private industry. He has published 14 journal
articles, 2 book chapters, 56 conference papers and has filed 2
patents.
His recent research is in distributed algorithms for self-organization
in wireless networks. He is also working in the application of
intelligent control techniques for multiservice networks as complex,
distributed systems. His e-mail address is ASekerci@ieee.org and his Web site can be
