About Us
We are a part of the Laboratory for Real-Time & Embedded Computing in the Computer Science Department at the University of Virginia. This research laboratory studies a wide range of issues in all aspects of real-time computing and embedded systems.
There are exciting new projects on building and analyzing embedded systems based on components, on developing a theory and practice of feedback control real-time scheduling, on developing protocols for deeply embedded large-scale sensor networks, and designing real-time databases to support smart/ubiquitous computing spaces in both Internet-based worlds and in ad hoc sensor networks.
Our extensive experience in building sensor networks is demonstrated by VigilNet, a system for surveillance missions. It currently consists of about 40,000 lines of NesC and Java code, running on XSM, Mica2 and Mica2dot platforms. The complete system is designed to scale to at least 1000 XSM motes and cover at least 100x1000 square meters for deployment in realistic military environments.
