Feb/7

Secretary: Kwame

Meeting summary:

Professor Bhaskar gave us his wishlist. See a brief outline at Wishlist.

We got the Contiki oscilloscope up and running, and played around with it using two motes.

For next week:

Suvil is going to investigate options for a mailing list and also get the issue with uploading images to the wiki fixed.

Nikhil will set up a Google Drive share for us to use for prototyping our tutorials when appropriate. It would allow for us to collaboratively edit in real-time and provide us all the conveniences of a modern word processor (spell check, etc.) We should probably discuss this more next time.

Yash will spend the time catching up and going through our existing tutorials.

Lakshmi has graciously volunteered to present Cristian's algorithm to us.

Nikhil, Bhavana, Rahul, and Deepanker will start a new tutorial for using the Oscilloscope.

Kevin will explore methods for on-board data storage on the sky mote, both volatile and non-volatile.

Pedro, Suvil, and Kwame will work on running Contiki on the testbed and starting a tutorial. Also, thinking about how we can refactor some of our theoretical tutorials to be more activity oriented.

Everyone should update their tutorials to include the primary contributors. Perhaps somewhere at the end.

Feb/14

Secretary: Pedro

Meeting summary:

Lakshmi presented the paper Probabilistic Clock Synchronization http://kom.aau.dk/~rlo/lectures/algoAndArchIII_2009/ChristiansAlgorithm.pdf. We had a very interesting discussion about the terms and concepts behind synchronization and clock in network nodes. We might in the future see how this algorithm can be implemented in a WSN or check whether its main ideas are already implemented in the "Implicit network time synchronization", present in ContikiOS ([1])

Everyone gave an updated about what have been done during last week. We have some material for two tutorials: the Oscilloscope and Coffee File System. This material is yet in the Google Doc create for prototyping and should be posted in the Wiki soon.

Kwame guided the group in the first 4 sessions of ContikiOS Crash Course Media:Example.ogg. We played with LEDs and push button. This example should give a new tutorial on how to use all the sensors/actuators (light, temperature, push button, etc.) on the motes.

For next week:

Kevin should give a brief talk about Coffee file system and show us the material he obtained and the tutorial he started to write.

Yash should start to study and collect material about processes and protothreads. He may give a talk about these topics in two weeks.

Nikhil, Bhavana, Rahul, and Deepanker should keep working on the Oscilloscope tutorial.

Pedro and Kwame should start to work on the Tutornet testbed.

Suvil should
