Abstract

This issue´s Works in Progress department includes five submissions covering a variety of research topics. The first two projects are sensor network oriented: a Java MIDP-based sensor network platform that´s being offered as an open source development environment and a platform for monitoring and controlling distributed power generation systems. The third is a wearable computing application for optimizing the circuit-training process for a group of users. The final two projects introduce pervasive computing into medical environments with a combined electronic and paper medical charting system and an interactive, multimodal, haptic-enabled medical training simulator.
