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”
