EWIDS: Very large wireless sensor networks for well-being

Project description
The project studies large sets of nodes in a wireless distributed system. With a growing number of nodes, each node should have more information to take independent, informed decisions. Only in this way enough room is available on the network for communication. Yet, these local decisions should lead to consistent global behavior. Information distribution for this type is known as gossiping. The goal of this project is to apply gossip-based techniques to tackle real-world problems on large, wireless sensor networks for future societal goals as wellbeing and independent living.
