Each of these layers are independent of the others, communicating through well-defined interfaces. These web pages document technical and administrative aspects of the FireBug project. FireBug is part of the <a href="http://www-laep.ced.berkeley.edu/~itr/">ITR Fire Project</a>. ITR (Information Technology Research) is a <a href="http://www.nsf.gov">National Science Foundation</a> initiative focused on innovative areas of science, engineering and education with a strong information technology component. Details about the NSF ITR project may be found <a href="http://www.itr.nsf.gov">here</a>. </p> <p> The FireBug project is hosted at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebug"> sourceforge.net</a>. </p> <h2> FireBug sensor network </h2> <p> FireBugs are GPS-enabled, wireless thermal sensors, or motes. The FireBug network self-organizes into edge-hub configurations. Hub motes act as as base stations, with the following responsibilities: </p> <ol> <li> receiving sample data from any mote, </li> <li> sending commands to any mote. </li> </ol> <p> Enabling such a network requires the motes to <a href="./surgepics.html">self-configure</a>. <p> <p> GPS capabilities are explained <a href= "gps.html">here</a>. </p> <p> Details of the <a href="./sensorarch.html">sensor architecture</a> include packet layouts, routing diagrams, etc. </p> <h2>FireBugs</h2> <p> Each FireBug consists of a mote/fireboard pair. The motes provide power, radio communications, and processing capability for data collected by the sensor. The Crossbow MTS420CA, or <a href="./fireboard.html">fireboard</a>, provides the sensing hardware. The mote and fireboard interface with a 52 pin connector. </p> <h2> Programming FireBug </h2> <p> FireBug is programmed using the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyos">TinyOS</a> embedded operating system, developed at UC Berkeley. More information may be found <a href="./programming.html">here</a>. </p> <h2> Controlling the network </h2> The controller <ul> <li> send commands to hub(s)/base station(s), </li> <li> provides storage for mote data, </li> <li> conducts data processing. </li> </ul> The initial controller will be a personal computer running the <a href="http://www.apache.org/">Apache</a> web server interfaced with MySQL using PHP. <h2> FireBug Command Center </h2> The FireBug Command Center provides user interaction for controlling the FireBug network and displays real time changes in the network. <center> <img src="./images/sysarch.png" alt= "Schematic of FireBug System"> </center> <?php include("links.php"); ?> <hr /> <p> Last Updated: $Date: 2004/08/03 01:37:31 $ by $Author: karimushu $. </p> </body> </html> --- NEW FILE: header.php --- <html> <head> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="firebug.css"> <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="./images/favicon.ico"> <title> FireBug </title> </head> <body> <img src = "images/firebug.jpg"> </body> </html> --- NEW FILE: people.php --- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"> <html> <head> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="firebug.css" /> <link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="./images/favicon.ico"/> <title>FireBugs</title> </head> <body> <?php include("header.php"); ?> <h1>FireBug Folks</h1> <p> FireBug is an interdisciplinary project drawing professors and students from the <a href="http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/"> Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering</a>, <a href="http://www-laep.ced.berkeley.edu/"> Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning</a>, the <a href="http://eps.berkeley.edu/www/index.html"> Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences</a>, and the <a href="http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/"> Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science</a> </p> <p> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/~sitar"> Prof. Nicholas Sitar </a> </li> <li> <a href="http://eps.berkeley.edu/groups/erc/faculty/brimhall.htm"> Prof. George Brimhall </a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/~glaser"> Prof. Steve Glaser </a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www-laep.ced.berkeley.edu/laep/people/people_radke.html"> Prof. John Radke </a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.ce.berkeley.edu/faculty/faculty_details.php?n=sengupta"> Prof. Raja Sengupta </a> </li> <li> David M.

These are devices that incorporate communications, processing, sensors, sensor fusion, and power source into a package currently about two cubic inches in size - networked autonomous sensor nodes. The first case discussed is the November, 2001, instrumentation of a blastinduced liquefaction test in Tokachi Port, Japan. The second case discussed is the dense-pak<sup>TM</sup> instrumentation of the seismic shaking test of a full-scale wood-frame building on the UCB Richmond shake table. The utility of dense instumentation is shown, and how it allows location of damage globally unseen. A methodology of interpreting structural seismic respose by Bayesian updating and extended Kalman filtering is presented. It is shown that dense, inexpensive instrumentation is needed to identify structural damage and prognosticate future behavior. The case studies show that the current families of Motes are very useful, but the hardware still has difficulties in terms of reliability and consistancy. It is apparent that the TinyOS is a wonderful tool for computer science education but is not an industrual quality instrumentation system. These are, of course, growing pains of the first incarnations of the Berkeley Smart Dust ideal. We expect the dream of easy to use, inexpensive, smart, wireless, sensor networks to become a reality in the next couple of years. </p> </li> <li> D. M. Doolin, S. D. Glaser and N.

TinyOS Technology Exchange, February 26, 2004, University of California, Berkeley CA. <p> ABSTRACT: Wireless sensors for conducting wildfire monitoring share many of the capabilities of other environmental sensors, collecting data such as humidity, temperature and barometric pressure. On-board GPS location finding allows rapid, remote deployment. In this poster, a scheme for developing driver and interface software for employing the Crossbow MTS420CA sensorboard is described. A high-level, generalized sensor interface is presented. Data collection algorithms implemented over implementations of this sensor interface do not require programming changes to the underlying sensor driver code. </p> </li> <li> M. M. Chen, C. Majidi, D.

One way to collect such data is to deploy sensors in the wild fire environment. FireBugs are small, wireless sensors (motes) based on TinyOS that self-organize into networks for collecting real time data in wild fire environments. The motes package GPS, temperature, pressure and other sensors onto a finger-sized board equipped with a radio, and transmit the data through the network. The FireBug system combines state-of-the-art sensor hardware running TinyOS with standard, off-the-shelf World Wide Web and database technology for allowing users to rapidly deploy FireBugs and monitor network behavior. This poster presents an overview of the FireBug system design, and a snapshot of the current state of development. </p> </li> </ul> <br> <?php include("links.php"); ?> </body> </html> |
