On March 14, the Cogent Computing Applied Research Centre hosted a National Science Week event at the Bablake Junior School in Coventry. The event was aimed at demonstrating to students and teachers how wireless sensor network technology could be incorporated into the national curriculum in bringing across key science concepts.
The day was not just educational but fun for all involved.

The Cogent Computing Applied Research Centre is, nationally, a premier centre for research in Sensing and Pervasive Computing. With an international reputation as innovators in Wireless Sensor Networks, we offer bespoke solutions for industrial sensing problems, based on distributed digital sensing technology, tailored training, consultancy and technological sensing needs assessment.
Discover, at out stand, our products and business services which can give your enterprise a sharp entry to the exciting new technology of Wireless Sensor Networks.
Products to be launched:The Cogent Computing Applied Research Centre hosted its PhD student recruitment open day event on Tuesday November 21st 2006 from 9am to 5pm. Centre members not only got the opportunity to meet the applicants but the event afforded applicants the opportunity to get a more in-depth look at the exciting work being done at the centre.
The Cogent Computing Applied Research Centre launch event was held on January 20th, 2006.

For the third year running, Dr Elena Gaura from the Cogent Computing Applied Research Centre is organising a symposium at the world's largest Nanotech conference and trade show: Nanotech 2006.
Three researchers from Cogent Computing will be travelling to Boston, Massachusetts to take part in the symposium on sensors and systems in the Modelling and Simulation of Microsystems (MSM) strand of the Nanotech conference.
Dr Gaura will be co-chairing the Symposium and Dr Robert Newman, will be giving an invited talk on the system design and applications of Wireless Sensor Networks. Mike Allen, a research student in Cogent, will be presenting a paper on "Experimental Localization with MICA2 Motes."
Dr Gaura said: "Nanotech 2006 is a global showcase for research and the fact that I have organised one of the major symposiums shows that the work we are doing at Cogent Computing is at the cutting edge of wireless sensor technology. Events like Nanotech 2006 enable me to share my work with colleagues over the world and hopefully make new contacts with a view to collaborating on projects in the future."
SIGDOC 2005 will provide an opportunity for the exchange of information related to exciting new research and empirical results in areas such as:
The Diana Award was presented to the British Computer Society (BCS). Wendy Hall of Southampton University, Past President of the BCS, accepted the award on their behalf (see photo).
