Wireless Heterogeneous Sensor Networks in the e-Society (WiSense) is a five-year research and development project established in 2008 with a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation to the University of Ottawa under the research excellence funding program. Collaborating on this project with the University of Ottawa (Lead Institution) are three Ontario universities (Queen’s, McMaster and Waterloo) as well as leading private sector industry partners. The mission of WiSense is to define and study design challenges, scalability and compatibility issues for the development of wireless heterogeneous sensor networks to serve in a wide range of e-Society applications.
The purpose of WiSense governance is to ensure compliance to the agreement between the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation and the University of Ottawa, the Lead Institution of the WiSense Project, and the related Inter-Institutional Agreements between the University of Ottawa and each Partner Institution (Queen’s, McMaster and Waterloo). Moreover, it also involves tracking and making necessary adjustments to institutional and industry in-kind and cash contributions, and managing the intellectual property developed during the project.
Broadly speaking this involves quarterly and annual tracking of research progress against the project’s milestones and deliverables through formal and informal surveys, regular meetings of committees and routine reporting quarterly and annually to the Ministry.
