Abstract
A Software Architecture Supporting Networked Sensors by Jason Hill Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of California at Berkeley Professor David Culler, Research Advisor Technological progress in integrated, low-power, CMOS communication devices and sensors makes a rich design space of networked sensors viable. They can be deeply embedded in the physical world or spread throughout our environment. The missing elements are an overall system architecture and a methodology for systematic advance. To this end, this study identifies key requirements, develops a small device that is representative of the class, designs a tiny event-driven operating system, and shows that it provides support for e#cient modularity and concurrency-intensive operation. The TinyOS operating system fits in 178 bytes of memory, propagates events in the time it takes to copy 1.25 bytes of memory, context switches in the time it takes to copy 6 bytes of memory and supports two level scheduling.
