Closing the Cyber-Physical Gap - The Internet of Every Thing

Abstract
Today's communications networks allow us to connect almost everybody,
but soon we will have the ability to connect almost every thing of
value. This next tier of the internet will connect directly to the
physical world, allowing a real-world web of physical information to
stream up into out information processing enterprise where it can
serve as a basis for decision making and action. Over the past
decade, broad R&D efforts of many companies and universities have
created the technolgical building blocks of this next tier. These
include the integration of sensing, computing, and wireless
communication into compact, low-power devices, the development of
robust, communication-centric embedded operating systems, and the
formulation of reliable, energy-efficient routing protocols. And, in
the last two years these devices have become truely the front-tier of
the Internet with 6LoWPAN carrying IPv6 in compact form. We now begin
the next major stage of the journey - making sense out of a vast pool
of sensory data. This will include extracting features, indexing,
cataloging, cross referencing, and the many other kinds of processing
that are today understood only for human generated information and
highly staged physical settings.
CV
David Culler is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of
California, Berkeley, CTO of Arch Rock Corporation, and Associate CIO
for the College of Engineering. Professor Culler received his
B.A. from U.C. Berkeley in 1980, and M.S. and Ph.D. from MIT in 1985
and 1989. He has been on the faculty at Berkeley since 1989, where he
holds the Howard Friesen Chair. He is a member of the National
Academy of Engineering, an ACM Fellow, an IEEE Fellow and was selected
for ACMs Sigmod Outstanding Achievement Award, Scientific American's
'Top 50 Researchers', and Technology Review's '10 Technologies that
Will Change the World'. He received the NSF Presidential Young
Investigators award in 1990 and the NSF Presidential Faculty
Fellowship in 1992. He was the Principal Investigator of the DARPA
Network Embedded Systems Technology project that created the open
platform for wireless sensor networks based on TinyOS, and was the
founding Director of Intel Research, Berkeley. He has done seminal
work on networks of small, embedded wireless devices, planetary-scale
internet services, parallel computer architecture, parallel
programming languages, and high performance communication, and
including TinyOS, PlanetLab, Networks of Workstations (NOW), and
Active Messages. He has served on Technical Advisory Boards for
several companies, including Inktomi, ExpertCity (now CITRIX on-line),
and DoCoMo USA.
