M1am An Introduction to Wearable Computing
Intended Audience: Anyone interested in the research and
commercial potential of wearable computers. Anyone interested in using wearable computers.
Overview: Ubiquitous computing implies the deployment of computers and networking services everywhere that users might travel. There is an alternative: wearable computers. By carrying their own infrastructure, users are guaranteed a certain level of service wherever they go.
What should a wearable computer contain? What is the market for such a device, and when will wearable computing products become profitable?
This tutorial will provide an intense introduction to the field of
wearable computing from both the research and commercial viewpoints. It will highlight both past success stories and upcoming challenges.
M2pm Mobile Networking
Intended Audience: This tutorial is intended for researchers and developers involved with or interested in mobility-related research areas, and provides a basic understanding of how 3G systems operate and open related research issues.
Overview: Mobile networks are evolving from so-called
second generation (2G) voice-centric circuit-based networks
to third generation multi-service networks. Instead of limited
8 Kbps voice services, and very bandwidth limited hard-to-use data services, 3G networks promise to deliver the "mobile Internet"high speed multimedia services. While the standards for these 3G networks are in place, deployment has just begun. This tutorial will focus on the networking aspects of 3G systems.
The first part of the tutorial will be a very brief overview of
the current cellular network, then the vision of the all-IP 3G
networks will be discussed. The UMTS General Packet Radio Service and the IP Multimedia Subsystem is covered in detail. These systems are expected to provide an integrated wireless network that supports data services using GPRS protocols, and multimedia services using SIP. I briefly describe the CDMA 2000 Enhanced Voice Data Only (EV-DO) system which is based on Mobile IP.
M3
Intended Audience: Researchers and developers who want to learn about 802.11 wireless network security. Familiarity with the very basics of network security, cryptography and 802.11 would be helpful. Deep knowledge of these topics is not required.
Overview: Wireless networks based on the 802.11 standard have proliferated in recent years, as have stories of their many security vulnerabilities. In this tutorial, we will present an overview of the main cryptographic and security issues relevant to 802.11 wireless networks, and discuss the past, present, and future of 802.11 network security standards.
Topics include:
Dan Simon is a cryptographer at Microsoft Research. His research interests include systems and network security and cryptography. He received his PhD from the University of
Toronto in 1993, and has been with Microsoft since 1994.
M4 Programming Wireless Sensor/Effector
Networks of TinyOS Motes
Intended Audience: Researchers and developers interested in hands-on experience with the system design, software, and hardware of emerging low-power, wireless networks interconnected with the physical world. Participants should be fluent in C and familiar with concurrency and communication concepts. Experience with embedded devices will also be useful. The
laboratory material will focus on the Berkeley TinyOS wireless mote platform available through Crossbow, Inc. Participants with their own hardware are encouraged to bring it. A set of kits will be available for use by teams without their own hardware.
Overview: Networks of small, wireless devices connected to
the physical world are emerging as an important new class of computer system. The "technology push" stems from the
miniaturization of processors and storage combined with the development of CMOS radios and MEMS sensors and
actuators to allow sensing, processing, and communication to be integrated in small, low-cost devices. Tremendous "application pull" comes from the ability to instrument physical spaces and objects at unprecedented fidelity while coordinating their activities through the network. Between these two driving forces lie a host of systems design challenges in providing networking, aggregate data processing, programmability, and distributed services in this severely resource-constrained environment.
The Berkeley wireless sensor motes and TinyOS were developed to enable researchers to explore these systems issues in the face of real constraints and the uncertainties of the physical world, as well as to implement novel applications. A series of presentations and hands-on labs will cover the wireless hardware architecture and sensor interfaces, the TinyOS system framework for resource-constrained concurrency, the nesC
programming environment, ad hoc multihop networking, network services, power-management, in-network query processing, and high-level application deployments. All of the material, including the TinyOS distribution and mote designs is openly available.
