Second Call to Arms Workshop

Organizers: Kyle Jamieson (Princeton), Chunyi Peng (Purdue)

NSF Program Officer Representative: Alex Sprintson

This NSF second call-to-arms workshop aims to spur system-oriented research across our wireless NeTS community to respond to COVID-19, addressing current gaps and emerging stress, proposing new methods and immediate solutions, and assessing impact on society in the time of a crisis. The workshop will be structured as a series of three virtual panels: (1) tracing contact and tracking mobility to detect and combat the spread of virus, (2) measuring network stress and resilience in response to new work-at-home modes, (3) mobile sensing for health monitoring and more relevant applications.

The recorded workshop is posted at Youtube.
