Originally, the Network Embedded Systems Technology was a DARPA funded project dealing with middleware services and novel applications of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Today NEST is an umbrella project encompassing different ongoing research activities in the WSN domain.

Over the years we have developed many fundamental services, tools and interesting applications of WSNs:

Services:

• Radio Interferometric Positioning
• Time Synchronization
• Message Routing

Applications:

• Countersniper System
• Tracking Mobile Radio Nodes
• Multimodal Target Tracking
• Mobile Pollution Monitoring Network

Tools:

• Prowler: Probabilistic Wireless Network Simulator
• GRATIS: model-based development environment
• TinyDT: Eclipse IDE for TinyOS
