By using wireless mesh networks for interconnecting meteorological weather stations to the Internet, multi-media sensor data can be observed in real-time. In such an application scenario, the wireless multi-hop network must fulfill high application requirements in terms of reliability, delay, and bandwidth. The exploitation of diversity mechanisms based on multiple paths seems to be a promising approach. The talk will present implementation experiences with wireless multi-path transmission and deployments of wireless mesh networks in outdoor scenarios to interconnect remote weather stations with the Internet. Moreover, an evaluation and test environment for wireless mesh network implementations based on emulation and simulation to model realistic wireless channel conditions will be presented. The talk concludes with a discussion on how cognitive networking concepts can help to achieve the application requirements mentioned above. Bio: Torsten Braun got his Ph.D. degree from University of Karlsruhe (Germany) in 1993. He received an award for the best German Ph.D. thesis in the area of communications and distributed systems, best paper awards from IEEE LCN 2001 and WWIC 2007 as well as the Communication Software Award from the KuVS subchapter of the German Informatics Society. From 1994 to 1995 he has been a guest scientist at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis (France). From 1995 to 1997 he has been working at the IBM European Networking Centre Heidelberg (Germany) as a project leader and senior consultant. He has been a full professor of Computer Science at the University of Bern since 1998 and director of the Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at University of Bern since 2007. In 2004, he spent his sabbatical at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis and at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science. He is member of the SWITCH (Swiss education and research network) board of trustees and serving as editor in chief for the Journal on Internet Engineering (Klidarithmos Press) and as editorial board member for the Elsevier journals Computer Networks and Computer Communications as well as Informatik Spektrum (Springer). He is chairing the ERCIM working group on eMobility.

It is expected that SAHNS, thanks to exploiting salient features of their application areas, will result in overcoming barriers that make GAHNS-based solutions technically infeasible or inefficient. The panelists are asked to indicate both benefits or advantages and pitfalls or disadvantages of specialized ad hoc networks and systems, illustrating them—if possible—with examples of SAHNS-based application classes or applications. Panelists: To be announced.
