Abstract:
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are rapidly emerging as an
important
new research area. Our research has focused on building system
support for MultimodAl NeTworks of In-situ Sensors, i.e. Project
MANTIS. The MANTIS system's key design objectives are ease
of use and
heterogeneous support. To promote ease of use, MANTIS supports
multimodal sensing including GPS-enabled location and time,
multi-frequency communication, a new multi-platform multi-threaded
operating system called MANTIS OS (MOS), a remote shell to
simplify
debugging, and dynamic reprogramming via wireless. To support
heterogeneity, MOS provides cross-platform support on both
AVR
microcontrollers (AMOS) and X86 processors (XMOS), a simple
cross-platform C API, as well as seamless bridging between
a virtual
network of XMOS nodes and deployed AMOS nodes. In addition
to MANTIS,
I also plan to discuss our work on building secure and
INtrusion-tolerant routing for SEnsor NetworkS (INSENS).
Biography:
Rick Han joined the faculty of the Department of Computer
Science at
the University of Colorado at Boulder in August 2001 as an
Assistant
Professor. He received a National Science Foundation CAREER
Award in
2002 and an IBM Faculty Partnership Award in 2002. His research
interests include system support for wireless sensor networks,
security, ubiquitous computing, and context-aware smart spaces.
Prior
to joining CU-Boulder, Prof. Han was a Research Staff Member
for four
years at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Hawthorne,
NY.
Prof. Han received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from
the
University of California at Berkeley in 1997.
