Label the instantaneous behaviors of each mouse Data are catalogued and analyzed to determine the health of each mouse. RESEARCH PROJECT (SMART VIVARIUM) Basic Posture Recognition: 1. Sit 2. Walk 3. Stretch RESEARCH PROJECT (SMART VIVARIUM) Count the footstep of mice RESEARCH PROJECT (SLEEP SERVER) RESEARCH PROJECT (SLEEP SERVER) PCs maintain network presence and availability in sleep mode Reduce energy consumption Creates lightweight virtual images of sleeping PCs, and these pared down images maintain connectivity and respond to applications Each virtual PC image enables remote access to the sleeping PC it represents Sleep Ser ver seamlessly wakes up the physical PC - owner tries to connect remotely into the machine from home - the user needs to remotely access stored files and media. Support more PCs (250PCs with one SS -> 500 PCS with two SS) Highly Scalable Architecture REFERENCE http://smartvivarium.calit2.net/ http://mesl.ucsd.edu/yuvraj/research/sleepserver.html http://www -cse.ucsd.edu/faculty -research.html QUESTIONS PREAPRED QUESTIONS 1.
