1. Interdisciplinarity Across Subject Paths & Institutions: Evolution of the Cal-(IT)2 Project Julia Gelfand University of California, Irvine IATUL, June 3, 2002 Kansas City, MO, USA

2. Semiconductor “System Chips” Two trends:Two trends: –increasing use of “embedded intelligence” –networking of embedded intelligence In ten years:In ten years: –the big: e.g., terabit optical core, gigabit wireless,... –the small: e.g., pervasive self-powered sensor “motes” –the cheap: e.g., one-cent radios »short-range (10-100m), low power (10nJ/bit), low bit rate (1-100kbps) The consequence:The consequence: –smart spaces, intelligent interfaces, ad hoc networks

3. Closed loop control Neuro-stimulators On-BodyIn-HomeAd-hoc SensorAdaptive Wireless Devices as Appliances In-body The Consequence: Pervasive Embedded Intelligence MEMS Sensors

4. Cal-IT2: An Integrated Approach to Future of “Embedded Networked Intelligence” 220 UCI, UCSD Faculty in multidisciplinary teams and partnered with 50 Companies

6. UCI Testbed: A 50-node proxy for “embedded and networked intelligence” On-going ExperimentsOn-going Experiments –On-campus navigation enabled by Web service and seamless WLAN connectivity –Virtual device/instrument control over Bluetooth links –Energy-aware application programming, battery-aware communication links –Autonet –“Entity models” of users, node, and link involving time, space and internet navigation.
