Distributed sensor networks play a critical role in today’s society where networked sensors, mobile phones, tablets, drones and micro-controllers are ubiquitous. They support applications from smart homes to cities, health, agriculture, transport and logistics. This talk will consider some of the core research ideas in the field of distributed sensor networks with examples of their applications: communication over unreliable, shared channels; harvesting knowledge from distributed systems efficiently and reliably; and building robust distributed systems for knowledge discovery. The talk will conclude with some thoughts on current challenges and future directions in this field.<br><br><b>Background - Dennis Moore Oration</b><br><br>The Oration is named after <b>Dennis Moore</b>, the father-figure of computing in Western Australia. Professor Moore was first chairman of the WA Computer Society, the Director of the very first computing centre in WA, an executive director of Government Computing, and then appointed foundation Head of School of Computing at Curtin University of Technology in 1987.<br><br><b>ACS 1962 Prize</b><br><br>The prize celebrates the year in which the first digital computer was installed in Western Australia and is sponsored by <b>Dennis Moore. </b>This prestigious prize is annually awarded to an individual <b>Computing/Information Systems</b> student in Western Australia.<br><br><img alt="Prize Winner Pic" src="https://acsau.file.force.com/servlet/rtaImage?eid=7010o000001DOs6&feoid=00N9000000EVCh7&refid=0EM0o000001vsSM"></img><br><i><b>Dennis Moore with 2018 1962 Prize Winner, Taaqif Peck.</b></i> <p><br><b>ACS 1962 Medal</b><br><br>The medal is named in honour of the year that Western Australia's first internally programmed digital computer was installed by Professor Dennis Moore FACS.
