DISSERTATION

Topic: Robust Real-Time Event Services in Wireless Sensor Networks

Description: My research focuses on wireless sensor networks, in particular us ing formal

approaches for event description and detection. I am also interested in how testing

and machine learning techniques could be used to improve the reliability of sensor

network applications.
