The NCCR Nightmare

Application projects develop their technology in isolation. They do not interact with other NCCR projects.They do not provide feedback to theory, systems and platform projects.They do not incorporate results from other NCCR projects (first and second phase). They do not make of the vast amount of experience present already.They do not share knowledge, tools, platforms.

WG2 Goals

Sharing the available expertise within MICSKnowledge transfer between projectsCommon platforms and toolsFollow-up of new technological developments

NCCR-MICS ProjectsApplications Platforms

WG2 Organization

Coordinators: Lothar Thiele, Matthias Grossglauser~4 meetings per year to share

Experiences in using hardware/software platforms, sensors New developments within and outside of MICS (technology watch function) Promote interaction with ‘theory’, ‘systems and platforms’One feature technology talk per meeting

Mailing listData repository, knowledge exchange

Web based BSCW or Wiki Platform Database – The Sensor Network Museum

WSN Development Reality

It is hard to deploy anywhere beyond 10-20 nodes today.

Coordinated methods and tools are missing today.

MICS Common Base Infrastructure

Many applications have similar requirements.Periodic, duty-cycled, low-power SNs

Establish a “known-to-work” platform for MICS membersFor “standard” data collection and analysisHardware (+embedded software)Software systems (access, infrastructure)Support through staffed “product group”
