21
Q

this is an example of what type of outline?
I. Dr. Kris Pister, a professor in the robotics lab at the University of California at Berkeley, originally conceived
the idea of smart dust in 1998 as part of a project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA).
A. According to a 2001 article written by Bret Warneke, Matt Last, Brian Liebowitz, and Kris Pister titled
“Smart Dust: Communicating with a Cubic-Millimeter Computer” published in Computer, Pister’s goal
was to build a device that contained a built-in sensor, communication device, and a small computer that
could be integrated into a cubic millimeter package.
B. For comparison purposes, Doug Steel, in a 2005 white paper titled “Smart Dust” written for C. T. Bauer
College of Business at the University of Houston, noted that a single grain of rice has a volume of five
cubic millimeters.
1. Each individual piece of dust, called a mote, would then have the ability to interact with other
motes and supercomputers.
2. As Steve Lohr wrote in the January 30, 2010, edition of the New York Times in an article titled
“Smart Dust? Not Quite, But We’re Getting There,” smart dust could eventually consist of “Tiny
digital sensors, strewn around the glove, gathering all sorts of information and communicating
with powerful computer networks to monitor, measure, and understand the physical world in
new ways.”
II. Because smart dust was originally conceptualized under a grant from DARPA, military uses of smart dust
have been widely theorized and examined.
