This project proposed and implemented a cross-layer data forwarding protocol in TinyOS (an embedded OS), which applies opportunistic routing techniques in low-power wireless networks for a significant increase in data transmission efficiency with low duty cycle. A paper is submitted to IPSN ’14 and is currently under review. Data-driven Wireless Link Quality Prediction Fall 2008 – Fall 2012 In this project, I designed and implemented a novel wireless link quality estimation scheme based on data-driven prediction models, and evaluated their network performance in multiple wireless sensor network testbeds with more than 180 sensor nodes. Specifically, I utilized logistic regression based models as well as efficient online learning algorithms to predict short temporal quality variations of wireless links. The models were implemented with efficiency in mind such that they can run sufficiently fast in the resource constrained sensor nodes. The implementation also includes modifications to almost all parts of existing networking stacks in TinyOS, from MAC layer to the network layer. For this project, three papers are published in SECON ’09, IPSN ’11 and SenSys ’12 respectively. Solar Radiation Mapping and Prediction Spring 2012 – Spring 2013 The goal of this project is to build and test an Affordable System for Solar Irradiance Sens- ing and Tracking (ASSIST) that can observe localized solar irradiance conditions with previ- ously unattainable spatiotemporal resolution using COTS sensors. ASSIST adopts a tiered- architecture where a small number of expensive and highly calibrated solar observatories get complemented by a larger number of inexpensive but uncalibrated sensor nodes. I co-designed the sensing platform of a solar dome instrument which consists of an Arduino broad coupled with 13 multiplexers and 206 solar irradiance sensors. I also participated in several deployment operations to install ASSIST nodes to multiple sites, including a 1 MW solar power plant. Occupancy-based Building Energy Management System Actuation Spring 2011 Co-developed a system using a wireless camera sensor node based on Memsic Imote2 combined with an IMB400 camera board to actuate a building energy management system by computing the number of occupants in a monitored area. I participated in building the demo for BuildSys ’11 (co-authored) where the audience could experience the interaction between an area’s occupancy and the different control surfaces (lighting, ventilation). Witness Assisted Lost Object Tracking System Fall 2008 Co-designed SenSearch, an outdoors, GPS assisted personnel tracking system using MicaZ motes and MTS420CC GPS module. My responsibilities include helping develope TinyOS program for GPS data gathering, storage and reliable data exchange in a delay tolerant network. The related paper is published in ADHOCNOW ’09 (co-author). UC Merced Wireless Sensor Network Testbed Fall 2007 - Spring 2008 Co-designed and installed a wireless sensor network testbed with more than 80 nodes in the UC Merced campus. The nodes are attached to firmware-modified Linksys NSLU2 network storage devices via USB hubs. The Linksys NSLU2 device is used to bridge serial communication between the nodes and a central server over the local network using a modified version of USB/IP, an open source project that creates a general USB device sharing system over IP network. The Linksys NSLU2 were upgraded to SheevaPlug later at 2009, and the Motelab based online system is available at www.andes.ucmerced.edu/sling. Publications Tao Liu, Alberto Cerpa.

  • NSLU2 for TF5800PVR Access Over Ethernet
    Configure NSLU2 for TF5800PVR access over Ethernet Summary A Linksys NSLU2 is a paperback size unit that has Ethernet and USB ports. Using this the Topfield TF5800 PVR can be accessed over a home network. The NSLU2 is about £55 but needs custom firmware to access the Topfield. This document describes the installation process on a Windows PC. This configuration does not use any USB drives on the NSLU2. Make sure you read the appendix for latest info. Author Malcolm Reeves ([email protected]) Issue: Draft H Date: 6-May-06 Contents 1. Initial Test 2 2. RedBoot 3 3. Install Unslung 4 4. Install ftpd-topfield 5 5. Upgrades and Configuration 7 5.1 Turbo Mode 8 Appendix A - Rafe’s Comments 9 1. Initial Test So you’ve bought a NSLU2. Let’s test it and make sure it’s working. So connect it your home network. Most home networks are 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is any number between 1 and 254) with a mask of 255.255.255.0. This range is reserved for local networks and it’s what Windows defaults to. You’ll need to change the mask to 255.255.254.0 on your PC and on your router if you have one. This is because the default IP address of the NSLU2 is 192.168.1.77 which is not on the default local network. After changing the mask enter 192.168.1.77 in a browser URL bar. This should bring up the Linksys web setup pages for the NSLU2.

It is one of the most popular Linux distributions for personal computers and network servers, and has been used as a base for other Linux distributions. Debian 2 Debian was announced in 1993 by Ian Murdock, and the first stable release was made in 1996. The development is carried out by a team of volunteers guided by a project leader and three foundational documents. New distributions are updated continually and the next candidate is released after a time-based freeze. As one of the earliest distributions in Linux's history, Debian was envisioned to be developed openly in the spirit of Linux and GNU. This vision drew the attention and support of the Free Software Foundation, who sponsored the project for the first part of its life.

Remaking Chineseness: The Transition Of Inner Asian Groups In The Central Plain During The Sixteen Kingdoms Period And Northern Dynasties Abstract This dissertation aims to examine the institutional transitions of the Inner Asian groups in the Central Plain during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and Northern Dynasties. Starting with an examination on the origin and development of Sinicization theory in the West and China, the first major chapter of this dissertation argues the Sinicization theory evolves in the intellectual history of modern times. This chapter, in one hand, offers a different explanation on the origin of the Sinicization theory in both China and the West, and their relationships. In the other hand, it incorporates Sinicization theory into the construction of the historical narrative of Chinese Nationality, and argues the theorization of Sinicization attempted by several scholars in the second half of 20th Century. The second and third major chapters build two case studies regarding the transition of the central and local institutions of the Inner Asian polities in the Central Plain, which are the succession system and the local administrative system.
