Abstract
The Smart Dust project is probing microfabrication technology's
limitations to determine whether an autonomous sensing, computing, and
communication system can be packed into a cubic millimeter mote (a small
particle or speck) to form the basis of integrated, massively
distributed sensor networks. Although we've chosen a somewhat arbitrary
size for our sensor systems, exploring microfabrication technology's
limitations is our fundamental goal. Because of its discrete size,
substantial functionality, connectivity, and anticipated low cost, Smart
Dust will facilitate innovative methods of interacting with the
environment, providing more information from more places less
