  1. NetSenCENetworked Sensing in Challenged EnvironmentsA joint partnership between UMass Amherst, Dartmouth and Lowell, and WHOI Brian Levine, Prashant Shenoy Department of Computer Science University of Massachusetts

  2. Vision • sensing: monitoring, measuring environment increasingly important • challenged environments: ocean floors, bays, estuaries, rivers, forests, glaciers, mountaintops Massachusetts/New England: “.. [should] .. develop a system to monitor ocean conditions to ensure a health and growing marine economy” “It is crucial for business and government to invest in research to develop those areas because the region’s success is so closely tied to the ocean.”

  3. NetSenCE Massachusetts Center for Networked Sensing in Challenged Environments • Core technology mission: wireless networking technologies and sensor platforms for challenged environments. • affordability, robustness • emphasis on water sensing • Close collaboration with domain experts • WHOI ocean scientists, underwater surveillance • UMass environmental scientists

  4. Who we are: About us • Brian Levine, Prashant Shenoy: co-directors • UMass-Amherst CS :Mark Corner, Deepak Ganesan, Jim Kurose, Don Towsley, Arun Venkatarmani • UMass-Dartmouth:Lou Goodman (SMast) • UMass-Lowell CS:Ben Liu • Woods Hole: • broad technical expertise:sensor nets, embedded systems, real-time computing, wireless networking, data management, performance, expertise • leadership: technical community (program committees), centers and programs (CASA, MS&T); range of seniority • multicampus Lee Freitag, Jim Partan, Jim Preisig, Andy Maffei WHOI

  5. Building on Existing Collaborations Related collaborations: • BBN (Cambridge): IBM/ITA; BBN code on UMass DieselNet; joint participation in NSF Future Internet Design (FIND/DTN) • BAE (Burlington): Darpa mobile ad hoc networks • General Dynamics (Pittsfield): ONR Littoral program • WHOI/UMass/UConn: joint NSF research infrastructure award • support from UMass Boston CESN • Others: Raytheon; Cisco (Boxboro); EMC; Intel; MS; Joint research (publication), grants WHOI PhD student at UMass/CS 2 UMass/CS undergrads at WHOI joint research joint research, grant (IBM/ITA wireless), former PhD student Dartmouth Lowell

  6. NetSenCE: closer research collaborations, joint future proposals 1 year joint UMass/WHOI post-doctoral researcher Half research scientist for environmental connections Faculty release time for proposal development multi-campus, weekly seminar graduate-level reading/research Work Plan/Budget

  7. Future funding opportunities • DARPA, ONR: littoral sensing, SEANAV • UMass-Dartmouth ties to ONR • DARPA, HSARPA: port monitoring • NSF Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) • disruption-tolerant networks/mobility key innovation area • BBN awarded GENI coordinating role • NSF Cyber-Enabled Discovery, Innovation (CDI): • planned $750M NSF program linking physical and cyber worlds • “Broaden the Nation’s capability for innovation by developing a new generation of computationally based discovery concepts and tools to deal with complex, data-rich, and interacting systems.” • Possible state economic development funds

  8. Networking in Challenged Environments Technical Challenges: • sparse deployment • short-radio ranges • system suspension/ power management • node mobility • fixed costs • failures likely or untenable • unreliable/non-existent infrastructure • application-driven utility BACKUP SLIDE
