We anticipate the next wave in the information
technology revolution to be the convergence
of control, i.e., sensing and actuation, with
communication and computing. This dissertation
addresses the broad set of issues that we believe
to be important to the design, implementation,
and proliferation of such systems. In particular,
we expound on the topics of the architecture of such
systems, methodologies for design, distributed time,
services, and middleware. We describe our design and
implementation of a testbed.
