The Fourth International TinyOS Technology Exchange (TTX4) will be
held at MIT on Saturday, April 28th.
http://tinyos.stanford.edu/ttx/2007/
The TTX is a yearly venue where developers, users, and companies
involved in low-power wireless sensing get together to talk about
recent developments and future directions. The focus of this year's
meeting is the formation of the TinyOS Alliance, a non-profit
organization designed to provide a structure to better support
collaboration in achieving technical excellence.
The TinyOS Alliance Steering Committee encourages anyone who is
interested in, using, exploring or advancing TinyOS-based
technologies to attend. There will be reports from the six existing
TinyOS working groups, a session on new working group formation, and
a series of interesting panels that bring industry and
academia together to discuss the important challenges ahead. The
focus of the event is ultimately on the community, its innovations,
and its work, and so there are three ways to participate and share
your accomplishments:
1) The contributions session. The session will begin with the
contribution czars, Kevin Klues and Martin Leopold, talk about how
you can bring your code into TinyOS for others to easily download,
use, and extend. The majority of the session will be two-slide,
three- minute presentations from members of the community describing
work they've done and which others can use. All you need to do is
bring your slides and get up to the microphone. Contributions to any
version of TinyOS (pre-1.0, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0) are welcome.
2) The demo session. If you've built a new application, a new
platform, have new technology or new research ideas that you want to
demonstrate to the TinyOS community, this is a great forum for doing
so. To register a demo, please email the demo chair, Lewis Girod
(girod at nms.csail.mit.edu).
3) The working group formation session. Is there an area that you
think bringing interested parties together to collaborate would help
advance research and technology? This session provides an opportunity
to present
proposals for new working groups to the community, in order to gather
support, interest, and momentum. The Steering Committee has
recognized two working groups it thinks would be beneficial to form;
if you have an idea, just have a few slides to let people know.[1]
In addition to all of these sessions, the TTX4 will have the next
release of TinyOS 2.0 (2.0.1), which will include a large number of
advancements, including robust low-power operation for micaz and
telos-family nodes, improved sensor board support, a beta version of
network reprogramming, and a new way to very easily install TinyOS.
The event is free for students, and has a $50 registration fee for
non-students; this fee is to cover costs for the coffee breaks and
lunch which will be served.
On behalf of the TinyOS Steering Committee, the local organizer Matt
Welsh, and the demo chair Lewis Girod, we all look forward to seeing
you there.
