Fennec Fox
Fennec Fox
Fennec Fox is a platform for low-power wireless embedded devices requiring dynamic network reconfiguration and communication service adaption. The platform consists of a four-layer network protocol stack, where at runtime various library modules may support each layer service.
Swift Fox
Swift Fox
Swift Fox is a programming language for runtime dynamic network reconfiguration of low-power wireless network running on the Fennec Fox platform. The compiler is written in C using Flex and Bison, generating nesC code.
Hardware-Software-Network Codesign
Hardware-Software-Network Codesign
Introduces a new development environment for wireless embedded devices consisting of a hardware platform simulator, embedded software, and wireless communication. Supports standalone simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testbed modes.
GOALI Project
GOALI Project
NSF sponsored project researching methods for network-enabled embedded monitoring and control for high-performance buildings, focusing on centralized and distributed occupancy estimation algorithms.
Open Testbed Framework
Open Testbed Framework
The Open Testbed Framework (OTF) provides tools for rapid deployment of Low-Power Wireless Network (LPWN) testbeds, supporting Wireless Sensor Networks and Cyber-Physical Systems.
EnHANTs
EnHANTs
Energy-Harvesting Active Networked Tags are small, flexible, and energetically self-reliant devices attachable to objects traditionally not networked, providing infrastructure for novel tracking applications.
