Fennec Fox
Fennec Fox is a platform for low-power wireless embedded devices requiring dynamic network reconfiguration and communication service adaption. Fennec Fox is a platform providing network reconfiguration mechanism. The platform consists of a four-layer network protocol stack, where at runtime various library module may support each layer service. Fennec Fox also provides mechanisms ensuring that all nodes within a network are configured in the same way.
Swift Fox
Swift Fox is a programming language for runtime dynamic network reconfiguration of low-power wireless network running on Fennec Fox platform. Swift Fox compiler is written in C using Flex and Bison libraries. Flex is a tool for generating lexical analyzers and it is an open version of lex. Bison is a parser generator and it is a GNU version of yacc. The generated output of the Swift Fox program is nesC code.
Hardware-Software-Network Codesign for Internet-of-Things
Hardware-Software-Network Codesign for Internet-of-Things introduces a new development environment for wireless embedded devices that consists of hardware platform simulator, embedded software running on the simulated instruction-accurate hardware, and wireless communication. Our simulator supports two modes of operation: standalone with hardware, software and network simulation running on a single machine, and testbed mode, with radio hardware-in-the-loop replacing the simulated wireless communication.
GOALI Project
GOALI Project is NSF sponsored project researching methods for network-enabled embedded monitoring and control for high-performance buildings. Because building occupancy has high-impact on building's energy consumption (HVAC, Light, etc) we focus on development of centralized and distributed occupancy estimation algorithms and deployment of those algorithms in buildings with supported cyber infrastructure, such as wireless networks of sensors and actuators supported with cloud computing.
Open Testbed Framework
Open Testbed Framework The Open Testbed Framework (OTF) consists of a set of tools for rapid deployment of a Low-Power Wireless Network (LPWN) testbeds. The LPWN is the underlying communication architecture for systems monitoring environment, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), and systems interacting with the surrounding environment through sensors and actuators, referred to as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).
EnHANTs
Energy-Harvesting Active Networked Tags (EnHANTs) are small, flexible, and energetically self-reliant devices that can be attached to objects that are traditionally not networked (e.g., books, furniture, walls, doors, toys, keys, clothing, and produce), thereby providing the infrastructure for various novel tracking applications. Examples of these applications include locating misplaced items, continuous monitoring of objects (items in a store, boxes in transit), and determining locations of disaster survivors.
