Andrea Sayer [Thesis (German)]
Andrea analyzed deeply the different methods of programming sensor
nodes using the TinyOS 1.x
operating system. Starting from the hardware and the system
architecture, she went on to look into component-based programming
using nesC and galsC. Code examples underpin statements and
support experienced developers. Considerations of virtual machines and
a presentation of existing development tools for application
programming on TinyOS conclude the thesis.
Jun Ma [www]
[poster]
Jun developed the Particle
Location System (PLS). Based on
the principle of Cell-of-Origin established by the XBridge of the
Particle Computer system, he build a set of java applets which let one
define a hierachical location model, a graphical floorplan (including
mapping of location descriptions of the model to locations) and present
the current locations of Particles as well as the location
history.
Michael Leuchtner
[www]
[poster]
Michael addressed the problem of resolving RFID tags in a Peer-2-Peer
environment. Instead of using a hierachical system like the object
naming system (ONS) from the autoidcenter, we prefered a P2P approach.
Advantages are the easy extensibility of the approach and the lack of a
central control instance which contributes to privacy requirements of
nowadays enterprises. Challenges were the encryption of data where
Michael proposed a solution.
Adam Eames [paper]
Adam did an intership in spring 2003 at TecO. He developed the first
DigiClip. A system and device for paper based document tracking,
synchroniztion with its electronic counterpart and integrity control. A
Particle node was attached to a physical document which links to the
electronic original. The Particle node comprises a page count sensor
and could control the integrity of the physical document. Changes in
the electronic document were notified on the physical one and embedded
in a Particle infrastructure, the overall system could impose spatial
integrity criteria and tracking capabilities. Adam's internship was
done
in cooperation with SAP Research CEC, Karlsruhe.
Serge Ngussi
[paper]
Serge work in the domain of securing processes in
mobile enterprise application contexts. He implemented a
proximity device which serves as additional input for authentification
of transactions in mobile computing environments. He used the BTNode
platform from Smart-Its project. Serge's work was done
in cooperation with SAP Research CEC, Karlsruhe.
Daniel Spanagel [www]
Daniel analysed in his thesis the decision process of customers in
retail stores. From his findings he derived various methods of support
actions to influence the customer in his/her decision by the use of
calm technology. Technical parameter of such a technology were derived
and implemented as extention of the SmartShelf prototype. In
particular, he focused on the use of the SmartShelf as an in-situ
recommender system similar to the one used on popular sites like
amazon.com. His implementation successfully applied this concept in the
domain of retail stores.
