This project performs fundamental cross-disciplinary cross-layered research into the design, implementation, and deployment of next-generation harvesting-based RFID-scale sensing technologies. The effort involves research at the CRFID hardware/software interface including energy management, data storage systems, and energy-aware computing to advance knowledge and understanding of zero-power pervasive devices. It addresses several fundamental research challenges including: 1) tradeoffs in energy harvesting, storage and usage that can make RFID sensors more programmable while not compromising energy-efficiency, 2) data storage systems that exploit probabilistic flash writes at low voltages, and that can tolerate frequent interruptions of power, and 3) energy management techniques that expose uncertainty-driven energy management interfaces, and schedule tasks in a harvesting-aware manner. Direct economic and social impacts of this project are expected in the design, development, and deployment of next-generation RFID-based sensing applications and businesses including medical, environmental, energy, military, homeland security, and transportation. Other benefits include involvement of female minority graduate students in research, and involvement of minority graduate students through the NSF-funded Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (NEAGEP). Further, the research and teaching from the project impacts students across the Five Colleges, which includes two all-women's colleges, Smith and Mount Holyoke, whose students can enroll in courses taught at UMass because of the consortium's cross-registration policy. Curriculum development includes exposing students to challenges at the hardware/software boundary of ultra-low power devices through new or existing courses, tutorials in conferences, and seminars and demos in science fairs intended for high-schoolers.

该项目对基于下一代收获的RFID尺度传感技术进行了基本的跨学科跨学科研究。这项工作涉及在CRFID硬件/软件界面上进行的研究，包括能源管理，数据存储系统和能源感知计算，以提高对零功率普遍性设备的知识和理解。它解决了几个基本研究挑战，包括：1）能量收集，存储和用法方面的权衡，这些挑战可以使RFID传感器更加可编程，同时不损害能源效率，2）利用概率闪光灯在低电压下进行的数据存储系统，可以在低电压下撰写，并且可以容忍能源管理和3）能源管理和3）能源管理的无效式练习和3）的能源管理。收获态度。该项目的直接经济和社会影响将在下一代基于RFID的传感应用程序和企业（包括医疗，环境，能源，军事，国土安全和运输）在内的设计，开发和部署中产生直接的经济和社会影响。其他好处包括少数民族研究生参与研究，以及通过NSF资助的东北研究生教育和教授（NEAGEP）通过NSF资助的东北部联盟（NEAGEP）参与。 此外，该项目的研究和教学影响了五所大学的学生，其中包括两所全女子学院，史密斯和霍利奥克山，由于财团的交叉注册政策，他们的学生可以参加在UMass教授的课程。课程开发包括通过新的或现有的课程，会议上的教程以及科学博览会中的研讨会和演示，使学生面临超低电源设备的硬件/软件边界的挑战。
