学术讲座通知加拿大滑铁卢大学Xuemin (Sherman) Shen教授和日本东北大学Nei Kato教授应“高等智能与网络服务”111引智基地的邀请，将于2月25日来北邮作学术报告。欢迎有兴趣的师生踊跃参与。讲座题目一：Wireless Body Area Network and Remote Healthcare System 主讲人：Prof. Xuemin (Sherman) Shen 内容摘要: Healthcare is becoming a serious social issue due to the increasing aging population, doctor shortages, and rising costs. Remote Healthcare System (RHS) based on wireless body area network (WBAN) has attracted significant attention recently since it not only cares for onsite patients, but also extends these benefits to anyone demanding healthcare beyond medical facilities. In addition, it can act as a dedicated virtual doctor and nurse, providing healthcare anywhere, around-the-clock with low cost. In other words, RHS can provide enhanced health care services with low cost. This talk will focus on the WBAN in terms of emerging technologies, challenge design issues, and its application to Remote Healthcare System/Health Social Networks. 讲座题目二：Disaster Resilient Network Technologies: MDRU and Relay-by-Smartphone 主讲人：Prof. Nei Kato 内容摘要：With the increase of natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, and so forth, it is easy to imagine a situation in which people lose their communication infrastructure whereas their communication needs, after a disaster happens, are typically high. To address this issue, Japanese government launched several projects to facilitate disaster resilient technologies, and one of them is the “Movable and Deployable Resource Units (MDRUs)”, a joint project in which Tohoku University, NTT, NTT Communications, Fujitsu and several other companies in Japan have been collaborating. The MDRU, equipped with circuit switching and Wi-Fi systems, which allow users to use the system easily, can be promptly transported by truck or helicopter to disaster-affected areas. In the fiscal year of 2012, we have successfully implemented the system and conducted the field test in Sendai and Fukushima, two cities in north-east Japan that experienced heavy damage of ICT infrastructure during the devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Meanwhile, we have also developed a technology called “Relay-by-Smartphone” which allows users to transmit their messages by Wi-Fi based ad hoc networks. This system can expand the coverage area of the MDRU. In this talk, the introduction of the MDRU and “Relay-by-Smartphone” technology will be delivered along with the prospect of future disaster resilient networks. 主持人：张琳教授时间：2014年2月25日（星期二）上午9：00—11：30 地点：教三楼811 此讲座为前沿课题讲座，欢迎全校师生踊跃参加。校学术委员会高等智能与网络服务111引智基地国际合作与交流处 2014年2月17日报告人简介.docx （附件下载请看置顶帖）发自「佳邮」
