將6LowPAN應用于物聯網
We would first like to thank the people that have collaborated with us on this book. Special acknowledgment goes to Geoff Mulligan, co-chair of the 6LoWPAN working group at the IETF and chairman of the IPSO Alliance, who has collaborated with us since the beginning of this project. Geoff was key in encouraging and helping develop the concept for the book, provided comments on the manuscript and contributed Section 7.1 (ISA100 Industrial Automation) of the book. We give thanks to Anthony Schoofs, Oliver Laumann, Pascal Thubert, and Vint Cerf, who have given us very helpful comments during the preparation of the manuscript. The good people at Wiley have been critical for making this a smooth project. We especially thank Tiina Ruonamaa for giving us the courage to turn a rough idea into a book proposal and finally a book. The unique culture and resourceful constituency of the Internet Engineering Task Force have made this technology possible in the first place, and have given both of us great experiences over the years. We would like to thank the dedicated and highly motivated people in the 6LoWPAN and ROLL working groups, who have spent the past few years, and several GB of email traffic, developing the concepts and protocols for 6LoWPAN. We would especially like to thank Dominique Barthel, Anders Brandt, Ian Chakeres, Samita Chakrabarti, David Culler, Mischa Dohler, Carles Gomez, Jonathan Hui, Dominik Kaspar, Eunsook “Eunah” Kim, Nandakishore Kushalnagar, Philip Levis, Jerry Martocci, Gabriel Montenegro, Bob Moskowitz, Charlie Perkins, Kris Pister, Anthony Schoofs, Pascal Thubert, JP Vasseur, Thomas Watteyne and Tim Winter. Carsten would like to single out the support he got, and the immense technical input, from IETF area directors Thomas Narten, Margaret Wasserman, Mark Townsley, Jari Arkko, and most recently Ralph Droms, from the 6LoWPAN WG advisor Erik Nordmark and 6LoWPAN WG secretary Christian Peter Pii Schumacher, and especially (again) from his esteemed co-chair Geoff Mulligan. Zach would like to thank his colleagues at Sensinode, the Center for Wireless Communications, the Technical Research Center of Finland and in the SENSEI project. The people active in the IP Smart Object Alliance also deserve thanks; IPSO has been great for the success of embedded IP in the marketplace. He would especially like to thank Prof. Petri M?honen and Prof. Carlos Pomalaza-Raez for bringing him under their wings and for their endless encouragement and inspiration. He sends warm thanks to his family, especially to his wife Sari for putting up with this project, and two little girls Selna and Alme who already expect embedded gadgets to do anything possible. Special thanks to Marketta, without whose help this book would not have been possible.
