OSIAN, orOpenSourceIPv6AutomationNetwork, is afree andopen-source implementation ofIPv6 networking forwireless sensor networks (WSNs). OSIAN extendsTinyOS, which started as a collaboration between theUniversity of California, Berkeley in co-operation withIntel Research andCrossbow Technology, and has since grown to be an international consortium, the TinyOS Alliance. OSIAN brings direct Internet-connectivity tosmartdust technology.

Architecturally, OSIAN treatsTinyOS as the underlying operating system providing hardware drivers, while OSIAN itself adds Internet networking capabilities. Users are able todownload and install OSIAN-enabled firmware to their embedded hardware, form aPPP connection with their computer, and communicate raw IPv6UDP to other wireless sensors from their favoriteprogramming language on their computer.

OSIAN is developed using a style very much like the development of Linux, which requirespeer reviews andunit testing before any code moves into core repositories.

OSIAN is designed for deeplyembedded systems with very small amounts of memory. One primary platform contains aTI MSP430-based CC430 system-on-a-chip, which contains 32 kBROM and 4 kBRAM.
