The space and weight constraints resulting from the size of the animals have led to simple but functional approaches for vocalization classification and position estimation. For the resulting data we have developed novel, delay-tolerant routing and collection strategies. These are expected to be used in a sparse, dynamic network resulting from various rats being tagged with our nodes and running around freely - an area that will eventually be too big to be covered solely by stationary data sinks. Furthermore, the system is designed to extract information on the social interactions between animals from the routing data. It currently works in an indoor environment and we are preparing it for tests in a controlled outdoor setup.}, tags = {RatPack}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-10-Thiele-Sensors08-RatPack.pdf}, web_url2 = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=4716540}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York City, NY, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of IEEE Sensors 2008, Lecce, Italy}, organization = {IEEE}, event_place = {Lecce, Italy}, event_name = {IEEE Sensors 2008}, event_date = {26-29 Oct. 2008}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-1-4244-2580-8}, ISSN = {1930-0395}, DOI = {10.1109/ICSENS.2008.4716540}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Thiele, Johannes and Osechas, Okuary and Bitsch Link, J{\'o} Agila and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Inproceedings { 200808OsechasEMBC08RatPack, title = {Ratpack: Wearable Sensor Networks for Animal Observation}, year = {2008}, month = {8}, day = {20}, pages = {538--541}, abstract = {The goal of our project is to describe the behavior of rats. For this purpose we are using wireless sensor networks, monitoring various quantities that yield important information to complement current knowledge on the behavioral repertoire of rats. So far, on the sensing and processing side we have developed innovative, minimalist approaches pointing in two directions: vocalization analysis and movement tracking. On the data collection and routing side we have adapted to the known burrowing habits of rats by developing new methods for synchronization and data aggregation under the paradigm of sporadic connectivity in a sparse, dynamic network.}, keywords = {Animals;Behavior, Animal;Clothing;Equipment Design;Equipment Failure Analysis;Miniaturization;Monitoring, Ambulatory;Rats;Reproducibility of Results;Sensitivity and Specificity;Transducers;}, tags = {ratpack}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-08-Osechas-EMBC08-RatPack.pdf}, web_url2 = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=4649209}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {The Printing House}, address = {Stoughton, WI, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 30th Annual International IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference, Vancouver, BC, Canada}, organization = {IEEE EMBS}, event_place = {Vancouver, BC, Canada}, event_name = {Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2008.
