Contiki 2.4 brings a number of new improvements over previous versions, several bugfixes, and an overall improved stability of the system. The low-power wireless MAC protocols have gotten an overhaul, improving power-efficiency and improved collision and interference handling. The COOJA/MSPsim simulation environment has received a significant speedup. Two new experimental platforms are included: the Crossbow MicaZ and the Sensinode CC2430/8051 platform. Many improvements and bugfixes has been made to the uIP code as well as the SICSlowpan implementaion of 6lowpan IPv6-over-802.15.4. See the changelog (http://www.sics.se/contiki/changelog.html) for full details and go to the download section (http://www.sics.se/contiki/download.html) to download the 2.4 release! text/html 2010-02-09T22:19:52+01:00 http://www.sics.se/contiki http://www.sics.se/contiki/events/two-upcoming-conferences-hotemnets-2010-and-sensys-2010.html Two upcoming conferences on wireless sensor network research, which should be of interest to many working on Contiki-related projects: the 6th ACM workshop on hot topics on embedded networked sensors (HotEmNets 2010) (http://www.hotemnets2010.org/) and the 8th ACM conference on embedded networked sensor systems (SenSys 2010) (http://sensys.acm.org/2010/index.html). HotEmNets is a high-caliber workshop for discussing the future of sensor networks research, in light of novel research results. Those interested in participating should submit a five-page paper before February 22 - deadline extended to 1 March 2010 - see the website (http://www.hotemnets2010.org/) for information on what to submit. SenSys is a top-tier, highly selective conference for presenting research results on sensor networks. Papers should be submitted (http://sensys.acm.org/2010/index.html) by April 8. text/html 2010-02-01T01:00:00+01:00 http://www.sics.se/contiki http://www.sics.se/contiki/news/announcing-the-contiki-projects-community.html A lot of people are using Contiki, developing software for Contiki, testing new protocols or mechanisms with Contiki, porting Contiki to new platforms, and extending Contiki with new functionality. To allow such Contiki-based projects to be accessible to all Contiki users, we have set up a new SourceForge project for new Contiki-based open source projects, dubbed the Contiki projects community (http://sourceforge.net/projects/contikiprojects/) We already have a number of projects, such as an RSSI viewer for the Tmote Sky (http://contikiprojects.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contikiprojects/sics.se/rssi-scanner/), an IPv6 adaptation of the uAODV code (http://contikiprojects.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contikiprojects/siemens.de/uaodv/), a TFTP server (http://contikiprojects.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contikiprojects/siemens.de/tftpd/), a RESTful web server (http://contikiprojects.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contikiprojects/sics.se/RESTfulContiki/), SafeContiki (http://contikiprojects.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contikiprojects/cusat.ac.in/safe-contiki/), an experimental version of Contiki with compile-time safety checks, and more (http://contikiprojects.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contikiprojects/).
