The paper "Geo-referenced Proximity Detection of Wildlife with WildScope: Design and Characterization” by G.P.Picco, D. Molteni, A.L. Murphy, F. Ossi, F. Cagnacci, M. Corrà, and S. Nicoloso received the Best Paper Award at the 14th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN 2015), a flagship conference in the field of wireless sensor networks.
The work describes the design and in-field evaluation on an innovative collar for wildlife monitoring that integrates low-power wireless and GPS to detect where and when “contacts" among animals occur. The work is the result of a collaboration between the UNITN-FBK D3S research group and FEM. For the D3S group, this is the 3rd Best Paper Award at IPSN, along with those won in 2009 and 2011 (Awards).
