definition
Tiny dust size device that combine sensing, computing, wireless communication capabilities and autonomous power supply within volume of only few millimeters.
Also called Motes These motes have memories, microprocessor, radio receiver and transmitter So small and light in weight that they can remain suspended in the environment.

Basic idea
The mote concept creates a new way of thinking about computers, but the basic idea is pretty simple:
1.

The core of a mote is a small, low-cost, low-power computer. The computer monitors one or more sensors , including sensors for temperature, light, sound, position, acceleration, vibration, etc.

dark side

Low Throughput ( < 10 Kbps ) :

Suited for data monitoring, not real-time audio

Power Source :

RF communications circuits drain a lot of power Need advancement in battery technology

Size :
Many components -> difficult to reduce size

Cost
Current motes cost between $5 - $10 each

Intrusive probes
A number of political, environmental, health and privacy related questions
