Description
Summary:Through a new computing paradigm, the wireless sensor networks revolutionize the environment monitoring, enabling applications in a wide range of knowledge areas. However, the process of creating these applications for these networks is still not simple, depending on the target operating system and hardware. In order to fill this gap, we developed a new programming model and a framework able to generate the application source code for a user-chosen computing platform, based on a modular specification. This novel approach is easy to program and allows the generated code to be efficient, as efficiency is a paramount requirement due to severe restrictions on WSN. Two case studies are described demonstrating the potential of the framework to help software developers
