We are participating in Google Summer of Code 2012!

http://www.google-melange.com/soc/content/2-0-20120317/images/v2/gsoc/logo/banner-gsoc2012.png

We are happy to announce that the Wiselib project has been accepted by Google for the Summer of Code 2012 as a mentoring organization (http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/wiselib). We would like to invite students interested in wireless communication, sensor networks and/or micro controller programming to get in touch with us and discuss possible projects for GSoC applications. All the necessary information as well as project ideas can be found at our GSoC project site http://www.wiselib.org/gsoc/. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.

What is the Wiselib?

The Wiselib is an algorithms library for networked embedded devices. It contains various algorithm classes (for instance, localization or routing) that can be compiled for several platforms such as iSense or Contiki, or the sensor network simulator Shawn. It is completely written in C++, and uses templates in the same way as Boost and CGAL. This makes it possible to write generic and platform independent code that is very efficiently compiled for the various platforms.

We provide easy-to-use interfaces to the OS, which simplifies the development process and decreases the need for dealing with low-level functionality of specific hardware platforms. Algorithms can even be run in a simulation environment first (for debugging purposes, for example), and then compiled for real hardware platforms without changing a single line of algorithm code.

Algorithms can be directly integrated in your application. For example, when developing an application for iSense that collects sensor data values, a Wiselib routing algorithm can be used to route the data to a sink. Another scenario are pure Wiselib applications: We provide an own application_main that is called by Wiselib code, and you can integrate algorithm implementations there. The advantage is that these applications can be compiled for any supported platform, without changing a single line of code (instead, just makefile targets).
