Objectives: Industry and academia cooperationEnhance and promote the cooperation between industry and academia

Secondment/recruitment of Experienced Researchers (ERs) and Early Stage Researchers (ESRs)Exchange of ERs and ESRs among industrial and academic partners



Project Objectives• Study of architectures able to accommodate a rich variety of sensor devices and

applications.• Propose Cross-Layer techniques that can be used in order to enhance the

efficiency of WSN in such applications.• Propose new efficient cooperative protocols schemes for WSN.• Propose effective, efficient and resilient security techniques to protect the Cross-

Layer algorithms and cooperative protocols from potential security hazards.• Adapt the all the proposed protocols and algorithms to the requirements of

healthcare applications.• Develop a prototype for demonstrating and validate the feasibility of the

proposed approaches. • Dissemination of the project results contributing to technical journals and

conferences in the course of the project lifetime.

WSN4QoL aims to provide research advances, proof-of-concepts, and real-life implementations on the main enabling technologies for WSNs-aided pervasive healthcare applications.

14Jornada Marie CurieBarcelona 6/2/2012


Research Objectives• Design a protocol stack architecture for pervasive healthcare applications• Develop energy-efficient high-performance cooperative protocols and

Network Coding (NC) schemes for WSNs-enabled pervasive healthcare applications

• Propose advanced distributed localization protocols for healthcare applications

• Conceive effective and resilient security solutions for the proposed schemes

• Evaluate performance by means of analysis and computer simulations• Implement and assess the performance of the protocol stack in a WSN

testbed• Integrate the proposed solutions in real devices and validate them in real-

working environments for pervasive healthcare applications.• Disseminate the scientific results in technical journals, international

conferences, and standardization bodies.



Transfer of Knowledge (ToK)



Keys for a successful proposal

1. A good consortium2. A good technical proposal



Keys (I)

1. A good consortium• Fair balance Academia-Industry • Appropriate size• Geographically dispersed• For big projects better if you have at least one

‘big shot’, but SMEs are also good.



Keys (II)

2. A good technical proposal• Technically sound: hot topics• Clear objectives• Good writing• At least some people with experience within

the researchers list• Objectives biased to the private sector
