  1. GENI Educational Kits for Wireless Sensor Networks Anish Arora, Rajiv Ramnath, Mike McGrath, Wenjie Zeng, Jing Li Nov 2, 2011 Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering

  2. “Motes” as educational tools • GENIhas involved several Wireless Sensor Networktestbeds • KanseiGenie, Vise, DieselNet, ParkNet, OKGems, Tunie… • testing spanned research and education • Mote-basedtestbeds support educational user involvement • WSN/embedded system courses are popular • low cost, low configuration setup • user skill level can range widely • Educational use cases • college testbeds (even small wired arrays ok) • outdoor portable arrays (for data collection) • science education of middle-to-high schoolers

  3. Our objectives • Easy to instantiate arrays • rapid deployment via installers • minimal assumptions about array controller node • controller exposes array to GENI control framework • Easy to use interfaces • simplified app model, common functions in run-time • Ports to other sensor nodes, including smartphones • Accompanying user/operator docs, WSN tutorials, sample projects, lesson plans

  4. BAK/PAK Overview Use cases: • local instrumentation of apps/data • uploading data to GENI cloud • downloading apps from GENI cloud

  5. Leveraging KanseiGenie • Federated WSN site purposing and orchestration via ORCA • LENS RSpec • Delivered installers, which were used to clone other testbeds • NetEye (Wayne St), OKGems (Oklahoma), Tsinghua, AFRL (WPAFB)

  6. First Steps: Stripping down KanseiGenie for BAK • Retain minimal KanseiGenie functionality on controller • low system requirements • minimal Ubuntu Linux installation • Vmplayer version for Windows • design will accommodate porting to thin gateways • outsource resource management to GENI cloud • Extend KanseiGenie • wireless programming/collection options • DTN network models • Almost zero configuration for selected platforms and topologies • recent experiment at Disaster City, College Station, TX, in fast cloning at a mobile base camp, and rapid deployment at a early disaster response at site

  7. Ongoing Engagement with Users • Pilots in IIIT-Allahabad and IIIT-D, India • science experiments: Radar based pendulum lab • data collection experiments: Temp/light maps • installation of first lab array planned around year end • Capstone course at OSU • students developing gateway apps
