DESCRIPTION:The NSERC CREATE Training Program in Integrated Sensor Systems 
 is pleased to announce the third hands-on workshop on the integration of s
 ensor systems to be held at McGill University.\n\nThe 2 day workshop will 
 be taught by Professor Zeljko Zilic\, of the McGill department of Electric
 al and Computer Engineering\, and will aim to introduce and expand on how 
 to design and integrate multiple sensors into a functioning system.\n\nSum
 mary\n\nHarnessing the capabilities of systems integrating multiple sensor
  requires significant skills in the embedded system design at multiple lev
 els of abstraction. In this intensive course/workshop\, we explain the mai
 n topics in integrating multiple sensors in larger systems and demonstrate
  them in the lab\, on a board with tri-axial inertial MEMS sensors and oth
 er devices. \n\nInstructor:\n\nDr. Zeljko Zilic is an associate professor 
 at McGill University. He has obtained his Ph. D. degree from University of
  Toronto in 1997. He worked at Lucent Technologies in 1997-98. He has taug
 ht courses on microprocessor and embedded systems since joining McGill in 
 1998 and in that period he has designed novel laboratory kits and courses 
 that extend the focus to wireless embedded systems and multi-sensor integr
 ation. For his teaching efforts\, he has received the Wighton Fellowship b
 y the National Council of Deans of Engineering and Applied Sciences of Can
 ada.  He has written a dozen of papers on embedded systems education\, inc
 luding embedded wireless and multi-sensor training. He is also a prolific 
 researcher\, with over 200 research papers in the related areas\, for whic
 h he has received several research awards. Dr. Zilic has also co-written t
 hree books that have served both as research monographs and course textboo
 ks in graduate courses. In the research community\, Dr. Zilic has served a
 s a general and program chair of IEEE High-level Design Validation and tes
 t and has chaired several other conferences in matters of finance\, tutori
 als\, panels and special sessions.   \n\nWorkshop Content:\n\nStudents are
