NOES Retreat: Summary

1. NOES Retreat: Summary Guru Parulkar Department of Computer Science and EngineeringUniversity of California, RiversideandNational Science Foundation

2. Center ofExcellence Shared Vision and Collaborative Research Themes (3-4 Years of Solid Performance) ResearchOpportunities Team Timing FundingAvailability Our Collective Opportunity

3. Center of Excellence: Why? 1. Highly rewarding academic life 2. Bigger impact 3. Increased funding, visibility, recognition 4. Better focus & context for individual projects 5. Multi-disciplinary ambitious collaborative projects

4. Vision, Themes, Focused Projects • Vision • Capture people’s imagination • Remain compelling and exciting for 10 years • Reflect strengths within the department/college/Univ • Broad with multiple research themes • Fundable but uniquely differentiated • Themes • 2-4 themes that would help realize the vision • They will require significant progress on science and technology front • They are likely multi-disciplinary • A theme likely relevant for 5 to 10 years • Example research projects • Small and large projects • Provide focus in the short term • Get the effort going in real sense

5. Example Vision, Themes, and Projects

11. Computing in Small: Streaming to/from Physical World Intel Presentation

12. Computers Everywhere -- Today • A computing system embedded within an electronic product • whose primary function is not a computer • 98% of processors are embedded [Tu02] • 40-50 in every home • >50 in some cars • Annual sales • Embedded processors alone >$3 billion (Dataquest’00) • Other ICs >$20 billion (Gartner/Dataquest 01) Anti-lock brakes Auto-focus cameras Automatic teller machines Automatic toll systems Automatic transmission Avionic systems Battery chargers Camcorders Cell phones Cell-phone base stations Cordless phones Cruise control Curbside check-in systems Digital cameras Disk drives Electronic card readers Electronic instruments Electronic toys/games Factory control Fax machines Fingerprint identifiers Home security systems Life-support systems Medical testing systems Modems MPEG decoders Network cards Network switches/routers On-board navigation Pagers A “short-list” of embedded systems Photocopiers Point-of-sale systems Portable video games Printers Satellite phones Scanners Smart ovens/dishwashers Speech recognizers Stereo systems Teleconferencing systems Televisions Temperature controllers Theft tracking systems TV set-top boxes VCR’s, DVD players Video game consoles Video phones Washers and dryers

13. Computing in Small Everywhere Universal Device: PDA, Cell Phone, Camera,Music,Sensor Node, Sensornet Controller

14. Networking at Large

15. CIS and Networking • A CIS node not useful unless networked • “Network is the computer” more true for world with CIS • Networking of CIS nodes different from networking that we know

16. Themes

17. Rapid, Efficient, Large Scale Prototyping of Verifiably Correct Low Power CIS Nodes Application Spec (in some form) Tools, Compilers, Verification Frank, Walid, Harry, Jun, Gianfranco Can become our key capability and resource over the years

18. applications Net Prog Env Management protocols system architecture Store Comm. uRobots actuate MEMS sensing Proc Power technology Extreme Scaling of CIS Networks • A network of 10000 nodes • Densely populated • Mostly wireless, energy constrained • Limited duty cycle • Research • Architecture • OS and system architecture • Many algorithms • Protocol architectures and implementations • Security, Verifiable, • In-network computing • Nodes to be provided by previous theme • People: Srikanth, Michalis, Ravi, Vana, Laxmi, Gianfranco, Guru, and others

19. Embedded SensorApplications WirelessNetworking EmbeddedSystems Sensors Sensing, Prediction and Control • Vertically integrated theme • Potential candidates • Water monitoring with chemical/biological sensorsAshok STC++ • Home automation • Existing embedded systems • New sensor networks • Universal device to control • Clean-room Monitoring/Control • Nano center, manufacturing • And potentially more • Testbeds and applications • Homegrown sensor nodes, OS, protocol stacks, in-network computing, applications • Participation: All

20. Embedded SensorApplications WirelessNetworking EmbeddedSystems Sensors Multi-Layer Low Power Design • Energy sources • Circuits to systems to software to applications

21. CISE Everywhere: Wireless • Need system/network integration • Bridging the gap: challenges and opportunities • Innovative new enabling technologies (Software Radios) PAN Home Net Applications Middleware Cellular Enterprise Network Networking Internet Embedded Systems Universal Device: PDA, Cell Phone, Camera,Music,Sensor Node, Sensornet Controller Sensor Physical Universal Network CIS Networking at Large
