Center for Embedded Network Sensing

2005 CENS Undergraduate InternAvrora, a set of simulation and analysis tools created by the UCLA compilers group, is designed to allow for the debugging of programs meant to run on sensor-networks, as well as provide tools to aid in the analysis of how those programs affect the sensor nodes both individually as well as in a sensor network. The goal of the summer is to implement support for other platform types and thus increase Avrora’�¡�Çs ability to simulate other types of sensor networks. This objective requires research of different platforms which may share similar devices to those of the already implemented MicaZ and Tmote Sky. In the future, this can lead to the ability to simulate different varieties of sensor netowkrs including heterogeneous networks.
