Sensor Network Platform Kit (SNPK) Overview and Applications Jan Beutel, ETH Zurich with Roman Lim, Mustafa Ycel and the MICS team 2 Trends in Information and Communication New Applications and System Paradigms Large-scale Distributed Systems Centralized Systems Networked Systems Internet 3 The Sensor Network Case Environmental Monitoring Internet 4 About the Sensor Network Platform Kit To make current state-of-the-art technology really workable for practitioners. Enabling a quick launch of new sensor applications, including web/database interfacing and testing. Targeting standard environmental-monitoring applications. Approach Components that are state-of-the-art and known-to-work Combines industry strength technology with emerging know-how and reliable research prototypes Public, opensource solution Born out of the need of many partner projects within MICS. 5 Sensor Network Platform Kit Components 1.Low-Power Wireless Sensor Network TinyOS-2.x MSP430 based motes (Tmote Sky, TinyNode) General purpose data gathering application (LPL, CTP, dissemination, deluge) Ultra-low power low duty-cycle data gathering (Dozer) 2.Backend Data Gathering Global Sensor Network (P2P database backend3.Testbed/Tools Deployment-Support Network Eclipse IDE for TinyOS 4.Technical support for MICS member projects Staffed support Testbed services Knowledge base, documentation and tools 6 SNPK Project Alpine Permafrost Monitoring Cooperation with Uni Basel (C.
