Overview
The
increasingly wide deployment of commodity mobile phones with
general-purpose processors, full-featured operating systems, and WiFi
provides an emerging hardware platform for mobile distributed
systems. COPSE (Concurrent OPportunistic Sensor Environment) is a
resource-sharing infrastructure being built at Duke that is designed
to enable large-scale mobile service experimentation and deployment
on volunteer commodity devices.
We have designed and implemented the COPSE architecture on x86 laptops, and hope to have it running on handhelds by the end of the year. If you are interested in learning more, please email Landon Cox.

We are shooting for a code release of COPSE for x86 laptops in August.
We modified Anthony Nicholson's Juggler implementation of VirtualWiFi (aka MultiNet) for Linux to virtualize 802.11. His source code is available here.
Support
COPSE is supported by the QualNet University Program, the National Science Foundation (grants NSF-0720717 and NSF-0747283), and Nokia.
