FireWxNet
Wins Best Paper Award at ACM MobiSys 2006!

We deployed FireWxNet, a fire
sensor network, in the forests and mountains of
Idaho during the summer of 2005 to monitor weather conditions
surrounding
active wildfires. Check out
pictures from the deployment! Also, here are some Powerpoint slides from a talk
on FireWxNet given in Copenhagen, 2006. This work was
performed in
collaboration with the
University of Montana.

I lead the Project
MANTIS (MultimodAl NeTworks of
In-situ Sensors), which
conducts research
in wireless sensor networks in the
following
areas:
- Sensor Systems:
- The MANTIS
OS (MOS) is an open source
multithreaded embedded operating system with a simple C API for micro
sensor nodes, e.g. MICA2 motes. [EmNets 2006, ACM MONET journal
2005, WSNA 2003]
- FireWxNet - a deployment of MOS
wireless sensor networks in Idaho's Bitterroot National Forest
August/September 2005 to monitor weather conditions in the presence of
active wildfires. [see tech report
2005] See also an earlier
version in the
Denver Post article of our research: "Fired
Up Over Wireless", 11/02/04.
- ELF Flash File system. [SenSys 2004]
- Security of Sensor Networks
- Intrusion-tolerant
routing via one-way hash chains that form one-way sequence
numbers [Elsevier journal 2005, IPSN 2003]
- Defenses against traffic analysis attacks
[SecureComm 2005, DSN
2004]
- Secure in-network processing for
hierarchical sensor networks [SASN 2003]
- Sensor Networking:
- X-MAC: A Short Preamble MAC
Protocol for Duty Cycled wireless sensor networks [tech report 2006]
- Load balancing [Globecom 2003]
- TSYNC
bidirectional time synchronization service [MC2R
2004]
- VLM2 multicast
- Low power operation
- user interfaces [WMCSA 2003]
