Abstract

I'll be talking about Centroute, a centralised routing protocol developed in CENS, which provides a number of performance and stability improvements over other mote routing protocols. It also has the advantage of keeping complexity out of the mote code, while leveraging the greater processing power of the Stargate. This is closely aligned with the guiding development philosophy of Tenet, so I'll be speaking about the integration of these two projects, and how it has driven changes to be made to the architecture of EmStar, and the development of EmStar 2.0.
