Exciting Potential Will affect all our lives! The next Internet! MANET (mobility) WSN (sensing) Swarms (scale) Pervasive Computing Cyber Physical Systems Wireless

Body Sensor Technology Commercially Available Galvanic skin response and pressure-sensitive smart shirt that senses anxiety Sonar Jacket to detect objects for the blind Climate-sensitive Dress senses levels of CO 2

Body Sensor Technology Commercially Available Pedometer”in Nike shoe gives distance, pace, calories burned during run – interfaces with iPod, iPhone Babyglow clothes change color when your baby has a temperature! Heart rate monitors that interface with iPhone Northface jacket that senses and adjusts body temperature

Exciting Potential The Internet Gets Physical “Sensing technologies will be one of the hallmarks of this century” 1980 => decade of microcomputers 1990 => decade of the Internet 2000 => decade of WSN

Purpose of this Course (1) Learn key ideas, principles, solutions and open research questions Get you to think differently –Decentralized algorithms –Swarms -> Aggregate behavior –Spatial (geographic) – Temporal (real-time) –Minimum capacity devices New system constraints –Environment interaction Real-time systems

Purpose of this Course Hands on experience with WSN Learn to program such devices/systems Practical: Start your own company?

Purpose of Course More like a real job –Not single topic (let’s study calculus, Java, etc.) Multi-disciplinary –Not solely from a textbook New HW, new language, new tools, new concepts, … –There will be significant material presented in class that is not in the reading

Course Outline (1) Introduction –Logistics and Motivation Sensors and Hardware Wireless Communications How to Program –NesC, TinyOS and TOSSIM MAC protocols (B-MAC and MMAC)

Course Outline (2) Routing (geographic based; multi-hop) –GF, DSR, AODV, DD, SPEED, RAP, IGF Clock Synchronization Localization Power Management Programming Abstractions Application to Home Health Care Summary

Logistics Prerequisites: –Networking (recommended) –OS and architecture helpful –Need to know C (or learn on your own) Reading –Text H. Karl and A. Willig, Protocols and Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks, Wiley, –Papers from the literature

Logistics Grading –Homework - 10% –Exam % –Exam % –Programming Assignments – 40% –Final Homework – 10%
