Mobile Information and Communcation Systems (MICS)
A Research Project in Cooperation with the Distributed Systems Group
Communicating smart objects raise many interesting research problems, not only
with respect to the embedded computing device itself, but also concerning the
structuring and efficient use of the huge amount of data that those objects
collect and which is literally distributed. Turning these data into useful
information and supporting applications that make use of this information is a
real challenge, requiring new algorithms and protocols, new infrastructures,
and new structuring principles.
As part of the Communicating
Embedded Systems project of the National Center of Competence in Research for
Mobile Information and Communication Systems (NCCR-MICS), we are developing
the BTnode platform as a smart object
implementation. This development is done in close collaboration with the Computer Engineering
Group at the department of electrical engineering. Focussing on
communication aspects, we are using this small computing platform for research
and prototyping of wireless sensor networks.
