DESCRIPTION:The call for application is now closed.\nDelay-Tolerant Networ
 ks (DTNs) support reliable data collection in extreme environments\, essen
 tial for ecological\, pollution\, and disaster science\, especially in Asi
 a’s remote or rural regions with frequent disasters and sparse infrastru
 cture.\nDTNs provide a robust solution for reliable data gathering and tra
 nsmission in environments that face significant connectivity challenges or
  disruptions. DTNs are invaluable for scientists engaged in ecological pre
 servation\, pollution monitoring\, and emergency response operations\, as 
 these fields often require seamless information flow in areas with little 
 or no communication infrastructure. Their importance is particularly prono
 unced in Asia\, a continent marked by vast\, sparsely populated regions\, 
 recurrent natural disasters\, and underdeveloped rural infrastructure. By 
 enabling interventions and monitoring in these hard-to-reach locations\, D
 TNs support better decision-making and more effective protection of enviro
 nmental and human health.Topics:\n \n- Introduction to Delay-Tolerant Net
 works (DTNs)\n- Applications of DTNs in Environmental Monitoring\n- DTN Ne
 twork Design and Optimization\n- Mobile Nodes and Data Mules\n- Environmen
 tal Challenges and Adaptations\n- Low-power design\n- Basic know-how about
  antennas and radio coverage\n- Real-Time Monitoring and Early Warning Sys
