New alliance plans to explore the effectiveness of wireless sensors

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have recently begun working as part of a newly formed group of international scientists, known as the International Technology Alliance (ITA). Its goal is to rethink network computing and communications across urban environments.

The program will look to explore more advanced and effective wireless sensor networks in urban areas. It will study network theory, network security for highly mobile ad hoc networks, sensor and information fusion, and distributed coalition planning and decision making.

The ITA is led by IBM and consists of top researchers in industry, academia, and government. The project will span 10 years and has a budget of $138 million.
