Overview >> SMART
| The Goal |
The project SMART (1.5.2009 - 30.4.2012) aims at providing an Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) infrastructure
that will support the following features efficiently and inexpensively: high-security levels, low power consumption,
video-capabilities, auto-configuration and self-organization.
This infrastructure will be based on both: an off-the-shelf reconfigurable device (WSN node) and on a specially designed and implemented Reconfigurable Application-Specific Instruction-set Processor (RASIP). The SMART system will also take advantage of the partial real-time reconfiguration feature of the reconfigurable devices and will be able to alter their processing tasks according to the environment the sensor network operates in. |
| Further Objectives |
• Develop a new reconfigurable processing unit that has built-in real-time reconfigurable technology and a very low power CPU for power efficient processing in WSN environments. • Develop and implement in the Reconfigurable Devices innovative data and video compression algorithms tailored to the WSNs’ requirements. • Prototype and validate SMART’s complete infrastructure in a large real-world trial consisting of both complex video-capable and low-end miniaturised sensor nodes. |
| IHP’s Contribution |
• Security Requirements capture • Implementation of real-time partial reconfiguration and sensing mechanism • Design of low-power security systems • Implementing resistant to side-channel attack security sub-systems • Design and implementation of the RASIP |
| Funding | The project is funded by BMBF (01IS09001C) and EC ARTEMIS-JU (100032). |
