The MIT Technology Review "10 Emerging Technologies" list (TR 10) for 2006 has been released. This year the list is something like:
- Comparative interactomics
- Nanomedicine
- Epigenetics
- Cognitive radio
- Nuclear reprogramming
- Diffusion tensor imaging
- Universal authentication
- Nanobiomechanics
- Pervasive wireless
- Stretchable silicon

David Culler appears again this year in TR 10 (about wireless sensor networks) under "Pervasive wireless". Some highlights from previous years would be
Hari Balakrishnan (2004) for "Distributed storage" and David Culler (2003) for "Wireless sensor networks". 2003 is the year I was finishing my BS and was just moving into sensor networks research - needless to say that I was much excited on seeing sensor networks at No.1 of TR 10 of 2003. For archival purposes I am giving links to the TR 10 articles (as PDF) starting from year 2003. I cant seem to find a PDF for year 2005 so that year is a link to TechReview web article; if anyone has the original PDF for year 2005 you can feel free to email me :-)

Good blog Munib!
Some of the TR technologies mentioned are not new ideas but have been around for a while -- "Universal authentication" being one. The concepts of IdPs, delegated auth and single sign-on are not new; though adoption in the industry has always been a challenge. Case in point Microsoft's passport (RIP). They may do better this time around with InfoCard (I've been following Kim Cameron's blog), but even if the big-wigs agree to an auth standard, there will always be a MySpace or Facebook around the corner...

I came around looking for an entry on your recent Sensys publication. I'm surprised to see there is none here. How about a brief on it for your next blog entry?

That entry would have to wait as SenSys has a paper shepherding policy. Right now all papers are conditionally accepted. Once the shepherding process is complete then the papers are fully accepted and camera ready versions are submitted (Aug 22nd). It would make sense to talk about it then with links to the camera ready version of the paper and other stuff :-)
