Open-ZB: an open source toolset for IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee
***********************************************************************
The IPP-HURRAY Research Group announces the release of the open-ZB
web site:

http://www.open-ZB.net

The IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee protocols (available at
http://standards.ieee.org and http://www.zigbee.org) are potentially 
appealing
for supporting large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) applications.
Energy-efficiency, timeliness and scalability are some features that 
leverage
the use of this protocol stack for WSN applications.

The open-ZB web site makes available open source implementations of the
IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee protocols, providing the following toolset:

- a protocol stack developed in nesC, under the TinyOS operating
system for the MICAz mote (CrossBow)
- a simulation model built using OPNET

We have been using this toolset for research purposes, namely to assess the
current functionalities defined in the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee standards as 
well
as new add-ons to these protocols. We expect that it can be useful for you
too.
Open-ZB is available for everybody and collaborative effort is welcome. Feel
free to download and use the toolset, participate in the Forum and let 
us know
about your work!
