Wireless Nanosensors and Systems research project has been investigating a systems approach to designing sensors systems. The effort is multifaceted and ranges from the design of low-cost sensors for various applications, such as biomedical or structural health monitoring, to the design of wireless interfaces and protocols with suitable networking and design of protocols to transmit sensor data from one place to another securely and to the design of appropriate applications themselves. The research team has been developing a system-engineering framework that forms the basis for collaborative activities across three campuses, University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, University of Arkansas at Little Rock and Arkansas State University, that captures the relationship between sensors, wireless interfaces, the network, the testbed that facilitates applications-level communications.
