IP paper wins 2018 ACM SenSys Test of Time Award

David Culler and Jonathan Hui

A paper written by CS Prof. David Culler and alumnus Jonathan Hui (M.S. ’05/Ph.D. ’08) in 2008 titled “IP is Dead, Long Live IP for Wireless Sensor Networks” has won the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) 2018 Test of Time Award.  The paper dispelled the notion that IP cannot run on wireless embedded sensors and made a long term impact  on standards like 6LoWPAN and platforms like Thread.  The award recognizes papers that are at least 10 years old and have had long lasting impact on networked embedded sensing system science and engineering.  Culler previously won this award in both 2014 and 2015.
