Keynote Speakers
Department of Computer, Science and Information Engineering, National Taipei University
The millimeter wave radar sensor has the characteristics of being less susceptible to weather and light and low cost. In addition to supporting environmental sensing functions in automatic vehicles, the millimeter wave radar sensor can also be used for non-contact human activity recognition under any environmental conditions. Monitoring, medical care, and physiological monitoring is another effective method in addition to the sensor-based and visual-based methods. We briefly introduce the basic principles of millimeter-wave radar sensors, collect millimeter-wave signals and collect 5-dimensional information in real time, and draw distance-speed maps, distance-azimuth maps, and distance-elevation maps. We further introduce various possible effective applications of human activity recognition using millimeter-wave radar sensors.

Department of Computer, Science and Information Engineering, Tamkang University
In wireless sensor networks, sensors are tiny devices with limited battery capacity and they perform sensing and communication tasks in the network. When the sensor battery is exhausted, it will not perform any task, which reduces the coverage quality of the network. Therefore, recharging the sensors before their energy exhaustion is one of the most important issues in WSNs. In this talk, an on-demand recharging scheduling mechanism using the mobile charger (MC) to recharge the sensors will be discussed. During the recharging operation, if any new sensor requests for recharging, the MC can dynamically adjust its path to improve the recharging efficiency.
Chih-Yung Chang received the Ph.D. degree in computer science and information engineering from the National Central University, Taiwan, in 1995. He is currently a Distinguish Professor with the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, Tamkang University, New Taipei, Taiwan.

National Taipei University of Business, Institute of Information and Decision Sciences
Wireless sensor networks consist of a large number of low-cost sensors, which have been used in numerous applications such as smart living, traffic monitoring and the healthcare system. In these types of applications, collecting data from sensors is one of the most important tasks. The simplest way is multi-hop forwarding from each sensor to the sink node. However, multi-hop forwarding led to the problem of network disconnection, which affected the network lifetime. This occurs because the sensors closer to the sink consume much more energy for data forwarding than those sensors far away from the sink. Therefore, in this talk, I will discuss the research issues of some data collection from sensors for prolonging the network lifetime.
