Endosymbiotic computing: enabling surrogate GUI and cyber-physical connectivity

Published: 26 July 2009 Publication History

Abstract

Endosymbiotic Computing entails attaching an RF-enabled micro-controller module (endomodule) to an appliance such that it appears as a networked device in the cyber world. It enables a smart phone to work as not only a universal remote control but also a surrogate GUI for inspecting the attributes of these appliances, without modifications to legacy circuits. To minimize the cost and resource requirements of the endomodules, we propose a generalized active message programming method that executes dynamically-loaded threaded code on-demand without requiring parsing.
