GISFI has signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Society on Communication, Navigation, Sensing and Services (CONASENSE) on Tuesday May 3, 2016 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Society on Communication, Navigation, Sensing and Services (hereinafter "CONASENSE") is a scientific society with the vision on Communication, Navigation, Sensing and Services (CNSS), 20 to 50 years from now. In this frame, sensors play a key-role in several applications. Examples are provided by medical sensors in health monitoring, photonic sensors for robots in the area of universe observation, inertial optoelectronic sensors for Earth observation, photonic nano-sensors for scientific payloads, optoelectronic sensors for stress and vibration detection in transport systems, inertial nano-electronic sensors for satellite navigation, etc. As a consequence, a multitude of services for the information society can get benefit from the integration of Communications, navigation and sensing systems; some examples are in the area of: Air, Road and Maritime Traffic Management, real-time alert systems, Earth science and interplanetary space science, disaster monitoring, safety critical services, and many more.
Further, it has been decided that China and India will join CONASENSE from 2017.
This MoU will help us in creating research dimension in the field of New Wireless Era (NWE).
Prof. Ramjee Prasad mentioned "I define NWE as : NWE= ≜ 5G + CONASENSE"
