Prof. Margaret Martonosi and her students and collaborators have received an ACM SIGMOBILE Test of Time Paper award for their paper "Energy-Efficient Computing for Wildlife Tracking: Design Tradeoffs and Early Experiences with ZebraNet” which was originally published in the 2002 International Conference on Architecture Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS). The SIGMOBILE Test-of-Time awards recognize papers that have had a sustained and significant impact in the SIGMOBILE community over at least a decade. The award citation notes: "ZebraNet was one of the first deployments of mobile sensors in the wild -- quite literally. This paper set the standard for application-driven mobile systems research, showing how to close the interdisciplinary loop between computer science and non-CS domains. The peer-to-peer data exchange developed by ZebraNet has also had lasting impact in many other areas, including vehicular networking.”
