Subject:

Description:

PQ: Graduate-level understanding of Unix/Linux operating systems, networking, computer architecture, and programming. This course introduces the concepts and technologies for building embedded systems and wireless sensors nets by focusing on four areas: low-power hardware, wireless networking, embedded operating systems, and sensors. Two assignments provide hands-on experience by deploying small wireless sensor motes running TinyOS to form an ad-hoc peer-to-peer network that can collect environmental data and forward it back to an 802.11b-equiped embedded Linux module. Students also read and summarize papers, participate in classroom discussions, and work on a team research project. R. Stevens. Not offered 2009 C10; will be offered 201 0 -11.
