Programming Models and Tools for Networked Embedded Systems

Wednesday, October 18, 2006
Sage 3303, 4:00 p.m.to 5:00 p.m.
(Refreshments at 3:30 p.m.)
In order to realize the potential of sensor networks, the problem of
coordinating large numbers of embedded nodes must be addressed. I will
describe a program of research to build new paradigm of computingfor sensor
networks. Specifically, the talk will describe the natureof algorithms on
sensor networks, methods to facilitate programming sensor networks, and
reasoning about the behavior of sensor networks.I will describe middleware
services such as self-localization, an actor language for mobile agents, and
a new model checking algorithm for reasoning about the quantitative properties
of large-scale sensor networks. The research agenda will be illustrated by
software tools and experimental results on sensor networks.
