Sensor Networks and Pervasive Computing

Catalog description

Prerequisites: CIS 340. This class covers a broad range of topics of the emerging wireless sensor network technologies, including operating systems, radio communication, message routing, time synchronization, localization, energy management, and applications. By using the commercial off-the-shelf wireless sensor motes, students will work on several hands-on projects that involve in developing protocols and applications in TinyOS, a modern embedded operating system. Prior computer system programming (in C/C++) skills and operating system concepts are required.
