Description
Ambient sensor networks represent distributed systems that challenge the
illusion that Moore's law will always facilitate more complex software in the
near future. The need for extreme low power consumption in myriads of miniscule
sensors is a driving force to reduce software again to its basics. It appears
that good old concepts enable new animals like hopping and gossiping
nano-agents. But a lot of validating experiments are yet to be done to
understand and control behavior of sensor clouds in realistic ambient
environments.
This talk is about a framework to simulate and monitor dynamic sensor-networks
in 3D, combining the capabilities of Blender, numpy and Python. Blender is used
for modeling and animating 3D worlds. Cluster behavior is represented in numpy
as scalable matrix algebra similar to Matlab. Python is the universal and
transparent glue for any component.
