RUNES
Reconfigurable Ubiquitous Networked Embedded Systems

The RUNES consortium organised a Tutorial Session entitled ‘Toward a Component-Based Framework for Networked Control’ at the European Control Conference 2007 which took place in Kos, Greece during July 2-5. The programme featured six papers outlining research by teams of UCL, KTH, University of Patras, Lund Inst. of Technology and Univ. di Pisa. The session was closed by showing the RUNES DVD and demonstrating part of the RUNES network reconfiguration scenario that included robots.

The presentation slides are available below:

• John Lygeros (ETH): "Session outline"
• Stephen Hailes (UCL): "RUNES, middleware components and disaster relief scenario"
• Karl H. Johansson (KTH): "A component-based approach to the design of networked control systems"
• Athanasia Panousopoulou (UPAT): "Utilization of mobile agents for Voronoi-based heterogeneous wireless sensor network reconfiguration"
• Peter Alriksson/Riccardo Schiavi (LTH/UNIPI): "A component-based approach to localization and collision avoidance for mobile multi-agent systems"
• Carlo Fischione (KTH): "On power control for wireless sensor networks: system model, middleware component and experimental evaluation"
• Karl-Erik Årzén (LTH): "Holistic simulation of mobile robot and sensor network applications using TrueTime"
