AppSN
AppSN (Application Enablers for Rapidly Developed Sensor Networks) was the first project to start in the context of EraSME. EraSME is a co-operation between more than 20 European funding agencies running or at least planning SME-oriented programmes. The aim of the project is to foster international co-operation between SMEs and RTOs (research or technology organisations) or universities. Transnational joint projects are supported concertedly by several countries; the money comes from the ...
CoCo/Mo
The trend towards an ubiquitous computing and communication environment, pushed from the generation growing up in an information age, slowly but steadily generates a demand for ad hoc networks. A whole lot of questions are to date still open issues when talking about those kind of networks, which need to organise themsleves without any centralized entity governing access, addressing, formation, service lookup or any other function, which we take for granted in our wired, Internet driven world. ...
Discourse
DISCOURSE (DIStributed & COllaborative University Research & Study Environment) is a distributed laboratory for distributed computing featuring advanced middleware technology. The lab stretches across the four Berlin universities and is jointly installed, used and managed by seven research groups at six geographical locations. It is intended to serve as a testbed for research and as a reference platform for teaching. The research groups will include, e.g., Microsoft .NET technology in ...
Environmental Monitoring
In natural sciences, research often relies on extensive manual investigation. Such methods can be error-prone and obviously don’t scale well. The development of autonomous data acquisition systems based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) research has provides a method to significantly reduce the amount manual of work during field studies. It allows addressing of scientific questions that were previously infeasible. Our research group gathered comprehensive experience in creating robust WSN ...
FACTS
Rules rule the idea of software development with FACTS: Instead of writing long imperative programs for tasking the sensor nodes of a network, a few, concise rules may let you do the same things while spending less time! Check out the FACTS homepage for more facts.
FenceMonitoring
As of September 2009, research on fence monitoring and distributed event detection in wireless sensor networks continues as part of the BMBF-funded project AVS-Extrem. Fence Monitoring - A Use Case for Wireless Sensor Networks The Fence Monitoring project is a use case for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) focused on collaborative, in-network data processing. The goal is to develop a distributed event detection algorithm that can reliably report security relevant incidents (e.g. a person ...
FeuerWhere
Distributed tracking of fire fighters. In cooperation with Berliner Feuerwehr, Nanotron GmbH, MSA Auer GmbH, IHP GmbH and others. [more]
M&M Gaming Project
Supporting ad-hoc mobile games is a strong challenge in the area of mobile computing. Imagine a situation, where people are equipped with smart mobile phones that communicate via short-range RF technology meet at a bus station and play an ad-hoc game while waiting for the train. Further information.
MO-SIS
The network "MO-SIS" (mobile security systems) bundles the expertise in the areas of security and safety as well as of sensor technology and mobile communication in order to offer you the best mobile security products and services "out of one hand". It is mainly focused on self-organising (wordwide unique), robust and energy-efficient sensor networks and ad hoc networks, that are applicable anywhere and anytime. They recognise for instance vandalism and defilement in public ...
SPi
Taking an application-centric view on ad hoc networks, cooperation between devices is structured by application-level clients and servers, i.e., certain nodes requesting services provided by other nodes. This gives rise to the question in how far the performance of the network can be increased by intelligently selecting which nodes are to host a particular service. The process of identifying the appropriate nodes to act as servers is referred to as service placement and invesigated using our ...
ScatterClipse
ScatterClipse is a model-driven Eclipse-based tool chain for developing, testing and prototyping Wireless Sensor Networks. It consists of tools for application development, WSN management, WSN visualization and analysis, and application testing.Further information
ScatterWeb .NET SDK
ScatterWeb .NET SDK is a new approach to working with wireless sensor networks. It hides the complexity of embedded programming and offers easy to handle .NET objects that represent the wireless sensors. Key features: Sensor world available to every developer ...
TCP-Proxy
TCP shall be used over a wireless link with very low data rate and high latency. The TCP-Proxy adapts TCP to the wireless medium while remaining transparent for the communicating hosts. Further Information
Vitalzeichen
The advances in development of pervasive technologies nowadays enable a seamless integration of smart health monitoring into everyday life. Small devices of roughly the size of a watch which are capable to detect critical health conditions of the person wearing it and to communicate this to a doctor or nurse in charge over a radio interface literally untie the bearer from static monitoring entities. Especially the elderly or patients still in an unstable health condition can thus benefit from a ...
Web Service QoS
Web Service QoS means the QoS awareness of Web services. In a Web service environment, both service providers and service requestors should be able to specify QoS related statements to enable QoS aware service delivery, service lookup, and service consumption. QoS requirements from higher layers should be mapped to the underlying transport layer in order to enable service classification. Further information: www.wsqos.net
mPOLIKS
The Freie Universität Berlin and the Berlin Police Department are cooperation partners since 2006. Within this cooperation we are evaluating secure approaches for mobile data access to police records. Further information.
