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.

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.

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!
