SUMMARY:Challenges in measuring wireless networks - Tristan Henderson\, Un
 iversity of St. Andrews
DTSTART:20070416T130000Z

DESCRIPTION:\nAbstract:\n\nCollecting real data from wireless networks is 
 useful for many reasons\, including application and protocol development\,
  network management\, and network security. But collecting such data in a 
 wireless environment is more problematic than in a switched wired network:
  the need to measure and monitor other contending networks\,\nnetworks in 
 other channels\, networks using other media access protocols\, and the vag
 aries of radio transmission can all lead to incomplete data.\n\nThis talk 
 will outline some of my experiences with wireless measurement\, including 
 802.11 security\, mobility modeling and studying the sociology of mobile c
 omputing users. I will then discuss some of the remaining challenges in me
 asuring wireless networks\, including future cognitive radio networks.\n\n
 Bio:\n\nTristan Henderson is a Lecturer in Computer Science at the Univers
 ity of St Andrews. His research interests include wireless network measure
 ment\, network economics and multiplayer networked games.  He is co-I of t
 he CRAWDAD wireless data archiving project (http://crawdad.cs.dartmouth.ed
 u/)\, which currently provides 23 wireless datasets to a community of over
  500 users. He also serves on JANET's Wireless Advisory Group and is a TPC
  member for this year's IMC workshop on wireless measurement (IM4Win).\n\n
