EWSN Tutorial: Computing in the Real World with Java
Speaker: Joe Polastre, Sentilla ltd. (USA)
Abstract: Pervasive Computing is about making the real world — and everything in it — smarter, through the use of small, wireless, battery-powered computers (often called “motes”) that can be put anywhere or attached to anything. By moving beyond wireless sensing to a full computing environment, pervasive applications can revolutionize the way we live, work, and play. Conventional wisdom asserts that low-power resource-constrained systems are incapable of running fully featured computing environments, such as Java. This talk shows the basic architecture of a pervasive computer, a Java Micro Edition (JavaME) platform extended to pervasive computing by Sentilla, and techniques for developing and debugging applications distributed across large numbers of pervasive computers.
