8 Acknowledgements
I wish to thank Jie Liu for his invaluable guidance in the development of this research
project.
Judy Liebman implemented the target detection and tracking examples on the motes.
Discussions with Jörn Janneck and John Reekie provided the basis for the section on de-
terminacy. Figure 24 is based on a discussion with Xiaojun Liu. Figures 21, 22, 23 were
generated from files in the Click 1.3pre1 release [1] and reprinted with permission from Ed-
die Kohler, who also provided clarifications via email on how connections are established
in the Click architecture.
I would like to thank Feng Zhao and others at PARC for a productive and memo-
rable summer internship. Much appreciation goes to Jörn Janneck, Jie Liu, and Roberto
Passerone for reviewing this report and previous presentations on TinyGALS. I would also
like to thank the Ptolemy group for feedback on TinyGALS, and the NEST group at UC
Berkeley for creating TinyOS and the mote platform.
