Course Outline: 0432 L 344 PR Sensor Networks



Introduction
The sensor networks lab provides opportunity for gaining hands-on experience in working with state-of-the-art sensornet hardware and software. Motes will be made available not only for in-class assignments but also for developing experiments at home. The lab consists of a "bootcamp" event and 6 additional meetings. In the "bootcamp" the TinyOS toolchain is installed and tested with simple demo applications. The following lab sessions are devoted to particular aspects of sensor network hardware and software stack like sensing, actuation, IPv6-based networking, etc. The lab ends with group mini-project work.
