Stream-based macro-programming of Wwreless sensor, actuator network applications with SOSNA
Date

Abstract
Wireless sensor, actuator networks distinguish themselves from wireless sensor networks by the need to coordinate actuators’ actions, real-time constraints on communication and the frequently feedback-based nature of computation performed in the network. In this paper we propose a func- tional macro-programming language, SOSNA, that employs the stream programming paradigm to concisely specify data transformations in the network so that wireless sensor actu- ator network (WSAN) application developers can focus on higher-level control-oriented problems rather than on design- ing the way in which communication is organised in the net- work. SOSNA accommodates a broad class of WSAN coor- dination models, supports mobility and provides a means of employing feedback for distributed state maintenance. Pro- gram execution proceeds in rounds providing real-time guar- antees on actuator decision making and synchronisation. In addition, static program semantics permit nodes to switch their radios off to conserve energy.
