INSS 2009 is the sixth 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.
Full Paper Due: January 9th, 2009
Notification of Acceptance: April 1st, 2009
Conference Dates: June 17 - 19, 2009
Conference site: http://www.inss-conf.org/2009/

Networks of sensing, computing, and communication devices are increasingly being deployed as wearable, and even implantable, systems to form Body Area Networks (BodyNets). BodyNets allow for unidirectional (monitoring) and even bidirectional (effecting) interactions with subjects. BodyNets are now appearing in diverse applications, including physiological monitoring for diagnosing, treating, tracking, and studying diseases and disorders; biokinetic monitoring for improving physical medicine and rehabilitation; human-computer interactions; and education and entertainment through interactive games. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying BodyNets. This will also include sessions devoted to presenting applications that are creating new business opportunities as well as compelling research challenges. In this regard, the BodyNets conference, now in its third year, aims to establish a forum for convening research professionals from diverse fields, including computer science and electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, medicine, and other disciplines in both academia and industry to address the technical, social, and application opportunities being driven by BodyNets.
Abstract Due: December 1, 2008 by 11:59pm 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.

|
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.

Release of MAC Layer Architecture for TinyOS 2.0.2
|
|
By hackmann, Section News
Wed Jul 9th, 2008 at 11:37:42 AM PST
|
Washington University's Wireless Sensor Network group has released a version of the MAC Layer Architecture (MLA) for TinyOS 2.0.2. MLA defines a component-based architecture for MAC protocols in wireless sensor networks. MLA consists of hardware-independent interfaces required by timing sensitive MAC protocols, and platform-independent reusable components that implement MAC layer logic on top of them. The MLA architecture can be used to develop a large number of platform-independent MAC implementations, with little or no further effort required to adapt these implementations to new hardware platforms.

|
The Tenet project has made a public release of the Tenet software v2.0. Tenet is software for flexibly programming a tiered network of sensors. Tiered networks consist of motes and masters (PC-class devices, such as Stargate, that run Linux or Cygwin). In Tenet, all applications run on the masters which task the motes using a simple but expressive linear data-flow tasking language. Tenet 2.0 introduces several new platforms/protocols/features and
has been used in seismic and habitat monitoring deployments for
up to a month.
