Projects
ACme: Berkeley Wireless AC Meter / Switch
People: Xiaofan Jiang, Stephen Dawson-Haggerty, Prabal Dutta, David Culler
Description: The goal of this project is to enable wireless energy/power measurement and control of AC devices. This device fills the gap between inexpensive LCD watt-meters (e.g. Kill-A-Watt) and expensive networked enterprise energy monitors. ACme uses the ADE7753 energy monitor chip for energy and power measurements, the SHARP solid-state relay for power switching, and the Berkeley EPIC wireless module for communication.

SPOT - Scalable Power Observation Tool
People: Xiaofan Jiang, Prabal Dutta, David Culler
Description: SPOT enables in situ measurement of nodal power and energy over a dynamic range exceeding four decades or a temporal resolution of microseconds. Using SPOT, every node in a sensor network can be instrumented, providing unparalleled visibility into the dynamic power profile of applications and systems.

Berkeley IPv6 on Low Power and Lossy Networks (b6lowpan)
People: Stephen Dawson-Haggerty
Description: We are aiming to enable the next generation of networking research on sensor networks by connecting them to internet standards like IPv6. Main research goals are demonstrating a scalable, easily managable IP architecture for sensor networks. The major artifact is an implementation of the IETF standards for IP-over-802.15.4 with address autoconfiguration and centralized routing.

Energy Management Architecture
People: Xiaofan Jiang, Jay Taneja, Jorge Ortiz, Arsalan Tavakoli, Prabal Dutta, Jaein Jeong, David Culler, Philip Levis, Scott Shenker
Description: EMA is a framework that
1. Enables graceful degradation and run-time adaptation of the sensornet, by allowing prioritized specification of user requirements.
2. Allows the end user to declaratively express his/her requirements, such as sampling rate and lifetime.
