Contour Guided Dissemination for Networked Embedded Systems

Contour Guided Dissemination for Networked

The emergence of new devices and technologies for networked embedded computing motivates new platforms for integrated computation, control, communication and coordination. These platforms are based on a large collection of loosely-coupled microcontrollers that communicate over low-power wireless links to achieve systemlevel objectives. The low-power transceiver in each node makes it necessary t...

Prototyping Networked Embedded Systems

Networked Embedded Systems

Ten years after the Internet revolution are we standing on the brink of another revolution: networked embedded systems that connect the physical world with the computers, enabling new applications ranging from environmental monitoring and wildlife tracking to improvements in health care and medicine. Only 2% of all microprocessors that are sold today are used in PCs; the remaining 98% of all mi...

ORB Middleware Evolution for Networked Embedded Systems

Standards-based COTS middleware has been shown to be effective in meeting a range of functional and QoS requirements for distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. Each standard makes limiting assumptions, often implicit, about the fundamental set of system capabilities and constraints typical of the domain to which the standard applies. When the characteristics of a particular class of ...

Challenges for Future Networked Embedded Systems

In this white paper we examine the direction research in embedded networks might take. We first discuss the technological drivers for the advent of ubiquitous computing and communication, which will spawn a myriad of networked embedded systems. Next we examine the nature of these networked systems in contrast to the classical telecommunication and data networks. We then argue that a number of n...
