Z-Monitor 1.0 released
 
By vlahan, Section News
Mon Jul 19th, 2010 at 05:56:19 PM PST
Z-Monitor is a free tool for monitoring and controlling IEEE 802.15.4 Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks. It provides a convenient solution for researchers and students for developing, debugging and deploying wireless sensor network applications. The tool is compatible with the IEEE 802.15.4 implementation of the TinyOS 15.4 WG and has also been tested and validated with the open-ZB implementation. Z-Monitor currently supports only TelosB motes, but it will soon be extended to a wider range of COTS platforms.

ACM SenSys 2009: Call for Participation
 
By pal, Section Events
Wed Oct 14th, 2009 at 10:49:04 AM PST
The 7th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems
November 4-6, 2009
Workshops: November 3rd, 2009
Berkeley, California
http://sensys.acm.org/2009/

Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGOPS, SIGMETRICS SIGBED and NSF.

The 7th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys 2009) is a highly selective, single-track forum for the presentation of research results on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked sensors. Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators with embedded computation capabilities allow for an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, thus enabling a new generation of monitoring and control applications. SenSys provides a cross-disciplinary venue for researchers addressing the rich space of networked sensor system design issues to interact, present and exchange research results, and demonstrate their work in a hands-on research exhibition.
