Projects
- AppSN - Application Enablers for Rapidly Developed Sensor Networks
-
AppSN is a project together with FU Berlin and a group of Swedish and German SMEs, namely CRL Sweden, EGC, Eightcut, Scatterweb GmbH as well as Ericsson AB. The project is funded by EU's EraSME

- The Contiki Operating System
-
Contiki is an open source, highly portable, multi-tasking operating system for memory-constrained networked embedded systems.
Contact: Adam Dunkels.
- COOJA - the Contiki Network Simulator
-
COOJA is a Java-based simulator for Contiki. It is flexible and extensible with the ability to easily change parts of the simulation environment such as radio models and node hardware peripherals. COOJA support cross-level simulations; simulations that contain nodes simulated at different abstraction levels; for example a simulation containing both emulated and OS-level simulated nodes.

- EFFWSN, Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks
-
Due to resource constraints, efficiency is an important issue in many applications of wireless sensor networks. The EFFWSN project is focused on efficient deployment as well as efficient operations of sensornet and its application. Important aspects are self-management (inspired by IBM's Autonomic Computing vision) and how to allow user control in a self-managing sensornet system. During the project a prototype will be developed to illustrate the self-management methods, user control, and how sensornet-based surveillance services can be used efficiently in defence scenarios.
Questions targeted in the project:
- how implement self-management (Autonomicity) in highly resource constrained sensor network nodes?
- how can users / soldiers interact with and modify the service provided by the sensor network?
- how can self-management be combined with user interaction / user driven configuration?
The project is funded by FMV.

- Embedded Wisents (together with the CNA Lab)
-
Embedded systems are characterized by their very need to interact with the environment. This interaction can take place in the form of sensing as well as actuation. Because of system complexity, isolated entities can no longer perform this interaction efficiently or reach the required control objectives. Hence, even in the interaction with, exploration of and control of the environment, cooperation between individual entities becomes a necessity, jointly controlling and influencing the physical processes in large-scale systems.
Embedded WiSeNts is a Coordination Action funded by the European Commission under the Information Society Technology priority within the 6th Framework Programme.

- Integrated Wireless Sensor Networks to Reduce Energy Consumption in Buildings
-
Collecting measurement data in buildings enables detailed understanding of relevant parameters for the energy consumption. Only a detailed understanding enables fine-grained control of e.g. heating, lighting and other energy consumption. This project uses wireless sensor networks for massive data collection related to energy consumption in buildings. The collected data can be used to control energy consumption in building by e.g. optimizing heating and lighting.
The project is funded by Energimyndigheten (Swedish Energy Agency).

- RUNES - Reconfigurable Ubiquitous Networked Embedded Systems (together with the CNA Lab)
-
The vision of the RUNES project is to enable the creation of large scale, widely distributed, heterogeneous networked embedded systems that interoperate and adapt to their environments. The inherent complexity of such systems must be simplified for programmers if the full potential for networked embedded systems is to be realised. As a consequence, it is our belief that the vision of networked embedded systems everywhere can only be realised if the architecture on which they are built is standardised and can self-organise to suit the environment as it happens to be from moment to moment.

Concluded projects
- DTN/SN - Delay tolerant sensor networks
-
Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) deals with communication for "challanged networks" which are networks where the communication environment may be far from ideal with high error rates, large delays and sporadic connectivity.
With the DTN/SN project we intend to contribute to the design and implementation of the general DTN architecture with specific focus on wireless sensor/actuator networks (SN).
Project partners are Bombardier Transportation, Ericsson Microwave Systems AB, Umeå Marine Sciences Centre, SaabTech AB, Wireless Device AB, and Raditex AB
This project is funded by VINNOVA.
