MobiSys 2008 PhD Forum
 
By marchioa, Section News
Mon Mar 17th, 2008 at 12:40:13 PM PST
MobiSys 2008 announces "A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems Applications and Services" (see forum website). The PhD Forum will be organized as a poster session, which will be viewed by all the attendees, for PhD students to present and discuss their dissertation research with people in the field of mobile systems applications and services. This forum will allow PhD students to get feedback on their research in a friendly and supporting environment from their PhD peers, faculty, and industry representatives. Students planning to graduate within 1-2 years or who will have completed their dissertation during the 2007-2008 academic year are eligible to join. This is the first PhD forum led by PhD students for PhD students.

CFP: Wokshop on Smart Sensing and Situation Awareness
 
By wenzhan, Section News
Mon Feb 11th, 2008 at 04:08:35 PM PST
The aim of this workshop is to stimulate research on smart sensing and situation awareness related topics in wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Environmental context and situation awareness
  • Resource discovery and management
  • Cross layering and resource awareness
  • (Distributed) compressed sensing and data aggregation
  • Data fusion, storage and management
  • ......

TinyOS community are especially invited. More details, see http://conferences.theiet.org/ie08/workshop.htm#smart

TWISTv1 Code Publicly Available
 
By vlahan, Section News
Wed Jan 30th, 2008 at 03:51:43 PM PST
The TKN Wireless Indoor Sensor Network Testbed (TWIST) is a scalable and flexible testbed architecture that provides basic services like node configuration and programming, out-of-band extraction of debug data, gathering of application data, as well as several specific capabilities:
  • experiments with heterogeneous node platforms
  • support for flat and hierarchical setups
  • active power supply control of the nodes
We are happy to announce the public release of the original software suite (TWISTv1) based on NFS file-RPC control channel. The release provides all the software needed to setup an instance of TWIST and to initiate jobs using a web-based control interface.

To get more information and to download the software, please visit the TWIST community web site!

Octopus: A Modular Visualization and Control Tool for Sensor Networks
 
By jurdak, Section News
Wed Sep 19th, 2007 at 07:17:13 AM PST

We would like to announce the release of Octopus, a new modular visualization and control tool for sensor networks, developed at the PRISM group in UCD.

Octopus is an open-source visualization and control tool for sensor networks in the TinyOS 2.x environment. Octopus provides users with a graphical user interface (GUI) for viewing the live sensor network topology. It also allows the user to control the behavior of one, many, or all sensor nodes, such as the sampling period, the radio duty cycle, or triggering mode.

For more information, please refer to the Octopus Project Home Page

Task Preemption in TinyOS-2.x
 
By cormacduffyUCC, Section News
Mon Jul 9th, 2007 at 10:09:21 AM PST

The MISL research lab at UCC & InfoLab21 at Lancaster University have developed a new scheduler for TinyOS-2.x as a tinyos-2.x-contrib module.

By adding task preemption the new scheduler is capable of interrupting non-critical tasks and begin processing tasks of greater priority immediately. Preemptive schedulers can make it easier for users to meet their application timing constraints.

The new scheduler allows programmers to define a TinyOS task with a specific priority. 5 task priority levels are possible one of which supports the basic TinyOS task.

New "Iris" motes from Crossbow
 
By rkling, Section News
Tue Jun 19th, 2007 at 12:02:43 PM PST
Crossbow Technology announces immediate availability of its new IRIS motes, a new family of ultra low-power, long-range wireless sensor network products. The IRIS platform features the following:

* Excellent RF range up to 3x that of comparable devices using IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radios
* Ultra low-power consumption down to half the sleep current of previous products (~8uA)
* Twice the program memory of MicaZ (8kB)
* Compelling new low price points

The IRIS OEM Module is a 24mm x 24mm "postage stamp" module optimized for fast, seamless integration of low-power, wireless mesh-networking into OEM hardware designs. The IRIS Mote includes an IRIS OEM Module in a MicaZ form factor with compatible 51-pin connector that can attach to existing and new sensor boards. The Iris runs TinyOS 1.x based Moteworks which can be downloaded free for non commercial use. For details please contact sales@xbow.com.
