Break

Session 3: 11:00 - 12:00 PM
Panel: Sensor Networks for DIREN
Chair: Victor S. Frost, University of Kansas


The panel will discuss the application of sensor networks to disaster
recovery. The panel will also address what is the current
state-of-the-art,
and where are the technical (or other) challenges that must be overcome
to
transition sensor networks from research to a practical tool for
disaster
recovery.

Panelists:

Deborah Estrin, UCLA
Mark T. Jones, Virginia Tech
Badri Nath, Rutgers University
