Interdisciplinarity Across Subject Paths & Institutions:Evolution of the Cal-(IT)2 Project Julia Gelfand University of California, Irvine IATUL, June 3, 2002 Kansas City, MO, USA
Semiconductor “System Chips” • Two trends: • increasing use of “embedded intelligence” • networking of embedded intelligence • In ten years: • the big:e.g., terabit optical core, gigabit wireless, ... • the small:e.g., pervasive self-powered sensor “motes” • the cheap: e.g., one-cent radios • short-range (10-100m), low power (10nJ/bit), low bit rate (1-100kbps) • The consequence: • smart spaces, intelligent interfaces, ad hoc networks
Devices as Appliances On-Body Ad-hoc Sensor Adaptive Wireless In-Home The Consequence: Pervasive Embedded Intelligence Closed loop control In-body MEMS Sensors Neuro-stimulators
Cal-IT2: An Integrated Approach to Future of “Embedded Networked Intelligence” 220 UCI, UCSD Faculty in multidisciplinary teams and partnered with 50 Companies
UCI Testbed: A 50-node proxy for “embedded and networked intelligence” • On-going Experiments • On-campus navigation enabled by Web service and seamless WLAN connectivity • Virtual device/instrument control over Bluetooth links • Energy-aware application programming, battery-aware communication links • Autonet • “Entity models” of users, node, and link involving time, space and internet navigation.
