Here are some observations, & I didn't take any notes so all from memory.
There were a number of detailed Power Point presentations - so hope they will be made available. As ever it was an excellent event - amazing for the breadth and depth of embedded software. The synergy of different groups from round the world coming together is quite remarkable. What stood out for me - TinyOS 2.0 Working group - Core components available, and you need the presentation to see which one. A TinyOS 1.x layer is being discussed, but is only available on TelosB modules - Networking (between processors) - needs some form of decision as to which layers to standardize on (that's what I took away from the discussion, but lots else going on) - Alliance - innovation at the human to human level. How to include a wider group of people, including levels of corporate membership. TinyOS is adapting to its maturing status, and trying to figure out how to open up more. - 8051 - trying to bring the venerable 8051 to the TinyOS family, as it is so widely available as a SoC. There were lots of interesting posters - including a group from Denmark working on 802.15.4. Some very interesting hardware from Australia CSIRO that was showing a group of custom boards they have built and are actively using. Ported the early versions of TinyOS - Mike Horton Xbow, talking about their OEM "stamp" version - Joe Polastre banging the drum for common hardware interfaces. Go Joe!! - Invensys, have been widely using early versions of the software. They are looking at how the devices can live together. The holy grail is a protocol gateway to IPv6. >From the hardware chip manufactures - wireless is likely to be just another serial interface in the future. Finishing with a rousing discussion on were is the line with Stability vs Innovation - and since I was on that panel I'll say the last word - stability is the innovation that is needed in software. :) Apologies for missing out many other good things. A poll was taken at the end, and at least half the people were from outside California, with people from Denmark, Germany, Koreas, China, Taiwan...
