Distributed Sensor Systems and Electromechanical Analog Facility

Abstract

Distributed sensor systems are key ingredients in many real world applications. Specific instances abound both in industrial and military environments, e.g., the monitoring (and possibly control) of manufacturing operations, or the dispersion of various types of sensors to detect enemy movements. There are two major areas of study in distributed sensors: the design and development of the sensors themselves, and the logical use of such sensors. This report is directed toward mechanisms to study the latter. Some examples of the latter, explained in detail, are based on CICE/ECE/IOE 469, a course in Real Time Computing Systems developed at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Both student and faculty critiques of the electromechanical analog facility used in the program are included.
