Content | The team project focuses on a small sensor network application called 'Ernie-meets-Bert' and its associated middleware. The purpose of the application is to track the social contacts and meeting time of bats in the wild. In the most basic setting it is assumed that bats are equipped with very tiny and extremely resource-constrained sensor nodes which periodically emit beacons which provide information about the identity of a bat. If another bat receives such a beacon, it first records the contained information and the receiving time, and then a time duration of this encountering could be calculated when it doesn't hear from the same bat any more. In the course of the team project such an application will be implemented and extended to efficiently store this contact data on each bat, transmit the data to the base network using Erasure Codes for guaranteed reliability and if necessary, provide reconfiguration support for applications and system. Test of the application will be performed using real hardware as well as simulations. During the initial phase of the project there will be an introduction to the SLOTH operating system and the bat node hardware platform as well as the current state of an early prototype of the bat application. Based on this, a project plan will be developed together with a distribution of work. The project participants will meet on a weekly basis and a core working time will be negotiated for all members of group working in the lab. There will be an informal intermediate presentation and a final presentation together with a demo. During the project, major design description as well as necessary information regarding to the configuration and setup of the prototype will be documented (e.g., source code documentation and Wiki/TRAC entries). |
