HIT - Hidden Information Technology

HIT research project develops technologies for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The work includes tools and methods for WSN design and utilisation. HIT project targets at fully autonomous, unconditionally reliable hidden WSN that supports different operational environments and applications.

The project contains the following major topics

• Development of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technologies. The technologies for WSNs contain full scale protocols and protocol stacks, as well as single algorithms, algorithm optimisations, and implementation architectures.
• Developing and experimenting with selected application concepts that define the requirements for the research
• Developing architectures, platforms, and application for prototyping. Prototypes are used for evaluation, verification, further development, and results dissemination
• Evaluation of standard technologies in the field of ad-hoc networks and WSNs
• Disseminating of the research results. Dissemination is carried out by public and project/ partner specific seminars, technical meetings, demonstrations, scientific publications, and thesis work.

The project is supported by TEKES (Technology Development Centre of Finland) and by several companies.
