Abstract
The Embedded Systems group at Microsoft Research has been engaged in joint academic
collaborations spanning both teaching and research activities. The results of these collaborations
are jointly reviewed, and highlighted to the academic community at the Faculty Summit at
Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, WA, during the DemoFest event. This is also a good
opportunity to review some of the other research projects that the group is engaged in, with
special consideration to the research performed as part of the summer internships. This report
presents the demonstrations that took place during the 2007 DemoFest. Two undergraduate
student projects from the Real Time Distributed System group at Texas A&M illustrate the
results of the teaching activities. The first was a six-motor robotic assembly capable of solving
the Rubik Cube puzzle interactively, on an actual cube. The second was a 3D spherical display
system realized with a rotating ring of LEDs controlled by twelve microcontroller boards, each
board controlling a row of 18 multi-color LEDs. The research projects presented included the
introduction of the first working prototype of the MSR eMIPS dynamically self-extensible
microprocessor and three current intern projects that leverage the eMIPS architecture. Additional
joint projects included a prototype of a data management system based on multiple trust evidence
sources, illustrating a new approach to online and embedded security developed in collaboration
with the Software Design and Implementation group. A walking stick for outpatient monitoring
was the result of the collaboration between the Robotics and the Embedded Systems groups.
Finally, scalability in Embedded Systems was the focus of two closely related projects. The first
project realized the world’s smallest Web2.0 server, using 2,636 bytes of code and 92 bytes
of data on an 8-bit AVR microprocessor. This result leveraged the analysis and modeling tools
realized in the second project, a collaboration with the Foundations of Software Engineering
group that led to a hybrid static-dynamic tool for worst-case execution time estimation and offline scheduling generation.
