Excerpt: Overview of the Second Wireless Sensing Workshop. The second Workshop on Wireless Sensing was held on October 4, 2001, at the Sensors Expo & Conference at the Philadelphia Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), SENSORS magazine, Sensors Conference, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Instrumentation and Measurement Society?s Technical Committee on Sensor Technology (TC-9), and IEEE Sensors Council cosponsored the workshop. NIST is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce?s Technology Administration. Its mission is to help increase U.S. industry competitiveness through advanced research, standards, and technology collaboration.
