14 September 2000Seattle SAGE Group2 Context Today, only 2% of microprocessors are used in what we think of as “computers” This percentage will continue to decline Five major DARPA sites focused on systems involving the other 98% -- on “invisible computing”: UW Berkeley MIT Carnegie Mellon Georgia Tech UW and Berkeley are closely collaborative, closely tied to Intel

14 September 2000Seattle SAGE Group3 Principal Themes Invisibility not enough to be mobile, pervasive, ubiquitous, etc. user’s attention is the valuable resource minimize user configuration/maintenance/interaction robust, reliable, safe, and trustworthy devices, middle-ware, and “applications” services Active fabric plug-and-play, discovery, composability data-centric, heterogeneous, active networking data and code mobility self-organizing, self-updating, self-monitoring systems active databases and information management External user community

14 September 2000Seattle SAGE Group4 World View What will be: lots of task-specific devices rich connections to physical world world-wide information/computation utilities ever-increasing computation, storage, and bandwidth computing/communication capabilities in everything What won’t be: unlimited power sources homogeneous connectivity continuous connectivity increased user mind-share devoted to computing concerns
5
14 September 2000Seattle SAGE Group5 Expedition Goals Connecting the physical world to the world-wide information fabric instrument the environment: sensors, locators, actuators universal plug-and-play at all levels: devices to services optimize for power: computation partitioning, comm. opt. intermittent communication: new networking strategies Get computers out of the way don’t interfere with user’s tasks diverse task-specific devices with optimized form-factors wide range of input/output modalities Robust, trustworthy services high-productivity software development self-organizing, active middleware, maintenance, monitoring higher-level, meaningful services

14 September 2000Seattle SAGE Group6 Application domains (and collaborators) Labscape (UW Cell Systems Initiative) instrumentation of the workplace capture experiments as they happen (build the database by doing the work) data mining to support investigations/recollections Personal devices/networks (Microsoft Research) body-area networking (RF and skin) borrowable, scrap devices Here-to-there (Intel, Ford, Xerox) in-building/in-room location tracking continuous access to data and multi-media streams management of personal/group devices and services
7
14 September 2000Seattle SAGE Group7 Research Themes Low-power intermittently connected devices Intentional user interfaces Data-centric networking Self-organizing information systems Seamless data/information management services active fabric devices
8
14 September 2000Seattle SAGE Group8 publication LabScape - one of our driver applications Biology is a hard science with a soft infrastructure capture and use of knowledge is key from loosely connected to highly integrated collaboration invisible infrastructure for building knowledge base Interpret ExperimentHypothesize Interpret ExperimentHypothesize Descriptive Model Experiment Manager knowledge base
