  1. Embedded Networking andOne to Many to One John Heidemann USC/ISI ICNP Panel—November 2, 1999

  2. The Domain: Embedded Networking • Networking of small devices will change the world • vigilant observation of what we care about • analysis and action on the results

  3. Auto maintenance you hear a noise mechanic slaps down several sensors later, expert system diagnoses week’s worth of readings Human maintenance sensors in clothes monitor how far you walk, what you eat, … dynamically suggest exercise, new places to eat Two Scenarios Many other scenarios: condition-based maintenance, security, collaborative spaces and classrooms, etc.

  4. …but how do 100s of sensors: moving, interacting, expiring, being added Retrieve interpret respond to data from Networks and applications object found? What’s the problem? • Hardware is here (Itsy, TINI, WINS, ucSimm, …) • progress in CPUs, batteries, wireless protocols Interaction of dynamics and numbers.

  5. One is Easy Ok, if not easy, at least possible.

  6. Many is Hard? Possible if - high value - or identical - or lots of people Internet Picture of NYC skyline Picture of cars

  7. Embedded Networks:Easy or Hard? • Many mostly identical nodes • but non-uniform from dynamics • different places, sensors, users, uses • nodes keep changing: movement, battery exhaustion, node and sensor addition, etc. • utility from cumulative data • over time or space • can’t count on attentive user per node Interaction of dynamics and numbers.

  8. Promising Developments: Application-specific Code • Application-specific embedded networks can simplify the problem • Useful building blocks: • Active networks and mobile code • Jini and UPNP • But need to take approach further in energy-constrained networks

  9. Promising developments: Using physicality • Physical constraints of embedded networks can simplify the problem • Promising examples: • location-based addressing • sensors in this room, not sensors #15, 37, 55 • actions are often physically constrained • lightswitch controls lights in this room • But how to determine location cheaply, everywhere?

  10. Promising developments:localized algorithms • “Act locally, optimize globally” • Enabled by application-specific code and CPU-rich, energy poor networks • Examples • data aggregation in network • data diffusion for routing • But how to write local algs? understand limits and error conditions?

  11. aggregation point Additional source Example: Directed Diffusion • Robust, efficient data distribution in sensor networks • name data (not nodes), use physicality • diffuse requests and responses across network • optimize path with gradient-based feedback • additional data causesin-network aggregation • More details: http://www.isi.edu/scadds/ Sink “What do you see in the southwest?” Source

  12. Unsolved problems • Building the right devices and radios • promising devices abound, but not ubiquitous • Security and privacy • how to monitor 1000s of devices? • firewalls just don’t work in porous world of mobility • Understanding protocols and apps • many parameters to data diffusion • monitoring and debugging testbeds • Explore realm of small, physical, many
