Abstract:
For the past two years, a collaboration between Intel Research,
College of the Atlantic and UC Berkeley has resulted in a
number of environmental monitoring networks being deployed
in the breeding habitat of Leach's Storm Petrel on Great
Duck Island. Between July and November 2002, we deployed
43 nodes monitoring a number of environmental variables.
The experiences from 2002 field season, guided the development
of the network deployed in June 2003, consisting of, at the
peak, of 65 general-purpose weather stations and 63 burrow
occupancy detectors. These two deployments have provided
a valuable testbed stressing the reliability of individual
nodes, power management, unattended operation, and design
for outdoor applications. In this talk we will describe in
detail the network architecture and its evolution, as well
lessons learned from these deployments.
Biographical information Robert Szewczyk
is a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. at UC Berkeley. As
one of the founding members of TinyOS project, Rob has designed
a number of sensor boards for various generations of motes,
implemented a prototype of a network programming system,
and wrote the power management subsystem for the current
generation of motes. His recent research revolves around
habitat monitoring deployments, with the focus on low-power,
reliable operation. Rob hold B.S. in Computer Science from
Cornell University, and M.S. in EECS from UC Berkeley. His
research is supported by DARPA's NEST program, Center for
Information Technology in the Interest of Society (CITRIS),
and Intel Research Lab at Berkeley.
