Z-Monitor 1.0 released
 
By vlahan, Section News
Mon Jul 19th, 2010 at 05:56:19 PM PST
Z-Monitor is a free tool for monitoring and controlling IEEE 802.15.4 Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks. It provides a convenient solution for researchers and students for developing, debugging and deploying wireless sensor network applications. The tool is compatible with the IEEE 802.15.4 implementation of the TinyOS 15.4 WG and has also been tested and validated with the open-ZB implementation. Z-Monitor currently supports only TelosB motes, but it will soon be extended to a wider range of COTS platforms.

INSS 2010 - Call for Papers
 
By rsto, Section News
Sat Nov 7th, 2009 at 12:35:58 AM PST
INSS 2010 is the seventh annual conference in the series, and features a highly selective technical program. We invite outstanding research papers from the field of sensor technology, wireless networking, or application of networked sensor systems. The conference especially encourages submissions that investigate research issues shared between all three areas. Submission of regular, short, and industry papers are invited. All submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of contribution, technical correctness, and presentation. All accepted papers will be published from the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE), and also from IEEE Explore.

Important Dates
---------------
Paper Submissions Due: December 1st, 2009 (IMPORTANT!)
Notification Acceptance: March 15th, 2010
Camera-Ready Papers: April 15th, 2010

PermaSense Matterhorn Deployment Online
 
By beutel, Section News
Thu Oct 2nd, 2008 at 02:01:31 AM PST
PermaSense observes physical parameters related to permafrost in steep high-alpine terrain over a period of multiple years. Live sensor network data is transmitted from the Matterhorn, Switzerland field site at 3450 m. Currently, there are 15 nodes sampling at 2 min intervals and relaying the data back home in real time. Estimated lifetime is 3 years and the sensor network is built on TinyNodes, Dozer and TinyOS-1.x (still). Check out the live data here.

There is some background information in some recent slides available here.

By rflury, Section News
Tue Aug 19th, 2008 at 09:53:45 AM PST
The Distributed Computing Group at ETH Zurich has made a beta version of its Eclipse Plugin for TinyOS 2.x public. The new plugin supports real time error detection, code completion, navigation within source files, and flashing from within Eclipse.
An installation guide and help for first steps is available at http://tos-ide.ethz.ch/wiki/index.php. Suggestions, comments and bug reports are welcome, contact information are on the download page.

Release of b6loWPAN Stack
 
By stevedh, Section News
Thu Jul 17th, 2008 at 05:18:00 PM PST
The Berkeley wireless sensor network group has made its 6lowpan implementation publicly available in tinyos-2.x-contrib/berkeley/b6lowpan. It adds IPv6 support to TinyOS, and supports address stateless autoconfiguration, multihop routing, and fragmentation for an MTU of 1280 bytes, among other things. Standard internet tools like ping6, nc6, and tracert6 can be used to debug installations using b6lowpan, and applications may use UDP as the transport layer. More information is available at the project wiki.
