Research Positions in Sensor Networks : Sensor Network Virtualization
The Intelligent Systems Centre (IntelliSys) is a research centre jointly set up by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and the Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering).
The Sensor Networks and Cyber-Physical Systems research program in IntelliSys is working on R&D issues with the goal of developing impactful sensor network and cyber-physical system applications for large-scale deployment.
We are starting a new research project to develop a semantics-based and service-oriented framework for the virtualization of sensor networks, which will enable the seamless interoperability and scalability of heterogeneous sensor node platforms from different commercial vendors. For this project, we are inviting applications for the following research positions.
1. RESEARCH SCIENTIST/RESEARCH FELLOW
