Wirelessly Accessible Sensor Populations (WASP) for Elderly Care Monitoring Presented by Student Name: Ashraf Youssef Mostafa

The Main Idea The WASP (Wirelessly Accessible Sensor Populations) project aims to provide a pervasive framework by integrating ambient and wearable sensors for continuous monitoring of the elderly, facilitating risk analysis, and providing long term trend observation.

The Main Achievements WASP project still under development, a service-oriented model is used in order to provide a mechanism to access capabilities using a prescribed interface where constraints and policies are encapsulated in the service description. Integrating this model with an efficient event based programming model is the next challenge in the WASP project.

The Challenges Sensor Fusion: Using information from both ambient and wearable sensors solve several problems that can not be dealt with by simply using each modality on its own. Dealing with heterogeneous sensor environment. Privacy and Security concerns. A service oriented model provides a mechanism to access capabilities using a prescribed interface where constraints and policies are encapsulated in the service description.

Innovation One of the most exciting parts about the paper is how the node classifies activities of daily living, the sensor network node uses A Bayesian classifier that can be trained for different class types.
