  Towards Storage-centric Sensor Network Architectures

  April 28, 2006 -- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

  Location: 4760 Boelter Hall, UCLA

  Description: In this talk, I will present our research aimed at redesigning sensor software and platforms by making the role of storage central in these systems. In particular, we propose to completely redesign the storage subsystem of sensor nodes by replacing it with a rich "data management stack". I will focus on three research efforts that address different challenges in building this stack. First, I will present a predictive storage architecture that emphasizes archival at remote sensors and extensive use of predictive techniques at proxies. Second, I will discuss distributed index structures that present a unified, easy to use data abstraction across numerous proxies and remote sensors. Third, I will describe an energy and memory-efficient storage system for sensor devices. Read More

  Making Life a Little Easier: Compile Time Checking of Run Time Resource Management

  April 21, 2006 -- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

  Location: 4760 Boelter Hall, UCLA

  Description: To aid in the efficient and clean design of applications, many sensor network systems expose interfaces to system developers that allow for the dynamic creation and manipulation of sensor node resources. But these interfaces are accompanied by the risk that programming mistakes will lead to mismanaged resources. In this talk I will introduce a simple model that characterizes resource usage in many sensor network applications and how this model can be used to create a tool to help automate software verification. I will then describe my experiences in applying such a tool to the code base for the SOS operating system. And perhaps, along the way, we will come to better understand the mystic "Property Number Three"... Read More

  Challenges of collaborative, in-network data processing in wireless sensor networks

  March 3, 2006 -- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

  Location: 4760 Boelter Hall, UCLA

  Description: Challenges of collaborative, in-network data processing in wireless sensor networks: In this talk, we consider two canonical applications for wireless sensor networks: distributed tracking and distributed localization. While many existing sensor network applications collect all data to a central location and process it there, the two applications we consider must process sensor data in the network through collaborative processing and data sharing between nodes. As such, they present fundamentally different challenges in all stages of design, development, and deployment. In this talk, we present several of the tools and techniques that were necessary to build and deploy these two applications.. Read More

  Description: Adaptive filters are systems that respond to variations in their environment by adapting their internal structure in order to meet certain performance specifications. Such systems are widely used in communications, biomedical applications, signal processing, and control. The performance of an adaptive filter is evaluated in terms of its transient behavior and its steady-state behavior... Read More

  Description: The Golem Group/UCLA team was a finalist in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, and traveled 22 miles on race day. The Golem Group was also one of the most successful teams in the 2004 Grand Challenge, traveling 5.2 miles on a shoestring budget. Autonomous navigation in the off road environment is a challenging problem, which requires the successful integration of many different sensors and systems. This talk will present the strategies, challenges, outcomes, and lessons learned from two years of autonomous vehicle development.

  Adaptive techniques for energy-efficient video processing

  December 2, 2005 -- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

  Location: 4760 Boelter Hall, UCLA

  Description: The recent explosive growth of portable applications, such as video phones, PDA, digital video cameras, etc., has elevated needs for low-energy video processing hardware and software. This talk will introduce new algorithmic and architectural techniques which can significantly shrink the energy consumption of video coding and decoding tasks. Unlike traditional methods, the techniques exploit picture correlation and input statistics to dynamically adjust the number of operations, memory accesses, operational bit-width and supply voltage to varying picture content. Applications to motion estimation, discrete cosine transform and memory access optimization will be presented. Practical issues and open problems will be outlined.
