It is not my research area but Information Processing in Sensor Networks conference will be held in Nashville this year starting from tomorrow. ISIS will be involved with a large scale sensor network demo called Dirty Bomb Detection and Localization on Thursday April 20th. The demo will be held in the Vanderbilt Football Stadium. There are more technical details on the demo website but to summarize, the goal is to be able to track a security guard with plain clothing who will be walking around the stadium with a cell phone-integrated radiation detector. The tracking will be done using a technique called radio interferometric positioning technique developed at ISIS.
If you think this is cool, even cooler news is that there is a Google Earth based user interfacewhich can be used to watch the demo live.
