The Researchers from the Safety and Emergency Lab Got the First Place in “Data Collection” Category in EWSN 2019 Dependability Competition

The 16th International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks, EWSN 2019, was held in Beijing. Prof. Dr. Jianming Wei’s group, the Safety and Emergency Laboratory from the Intelligence Information Communication Technology Research and Development Center, SARI, took part in the EWSN 2019 Dependability Competition and won the first place in “Data Collection” Category with their DeCoT+.

The 16th International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks, EWSN 2019, was held in Beijing. Prof. Dr. Jianming Wei’s group, the Safety and Emergency Laboratory from the Intelligence Information Communication Technology Research and Development Center, SARI, took part in the EWSN 2019 Dependability Competition and won the first place in “Data Collection” Category with their DeCoT+.
   The International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks is a highly selective, annual forum for presenting research results in the field of networked embedded systems, broadly defined, including for example Wireless Sensor Networks, Internet of Things, or Cyber-Physical Systems. Over the last decade, a large number of low-power wireless communication protocols have been proposed by both academia and industry. Their performance, however, has rarely been benchmarked under the exact same settings. Furthermore, little is known about the performance of most low-power wireless protocols in the presence of RF interference, which often leads to an increase in packet loss, end-to-end latency, and energy consumption. Since 2016, the EWSN dependability competition aims to fill this gap by quantitatively comparing the dependability of state-of-the-art WSN and IoT communication protocols under the same settings and in environments rich of radio interference. This year, 12 international teams, many of them including industry partners, were competing for the most dependable IoT networking solution. After more than one month’s official evaluation, DeCoT+ won the first place depending on a better performance under harsh interference. Xiaoyuan Ma, as the main contributor of DeCoT+, presented their solution at the conference in Beijing.

  A Belt and Road international science organisations alliance was launched on Sunday in Beijing with the aim of tackling major scientific challenges such as climate change.
  The Alliance of International Science Organizations in the Belt and Road Region, or ANSO, was initiated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
  ANSO, which is non-profit and non-governmental, will include more than 40 national, regional and international scientific and research institutions. It will focus on tackling major scientific challenges such as ecological resources, climate change, environmental protection and public health, said CAS president Bai Chunli at the launch ceremony.
  Further, the alliance plans to publish consultation reports based on joint projects that will provide the governments and policymakers of the countries within the Belt and Road initiative (BRI) with scientific advice.
  The alliance will also train young scientists and grant awards to promote cooperation among scientists and scientific institutions, Bai added.
  Chinese president Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to ANSO ahead of its launch, saying that promoting cooperation in science and technology among countries constituted an important part of the building of the Belt and Road. The message went on to say that cooperation also played a positive role in improving people's livelihoods, promoting development and coping with common challenges.
  The BRI is a multitrillion-dollar project proposed by Xi in 2013. It is China's attempt to create a modern version of the Silk Road, in order to boost trade and economic integration among the countries involved through investments in roads, pipelines, ports, communication networks and other such infrastructure.
