Wireless sensor networks are increasingly being used to improve business processes. The behavior of such a process is usually captured in models while its implementation is typically created manually. Besides being expensive, this approach entails deviations between the model and the implementation of a business process, thus rendering it less effective. We aim at closing [...]

Threads for the Programmer, Events for the Machine
January 20th, 2010 — publication
Major motes operating systems like TinyOS or Contiki rely on an event-driven programming paradigm. While the use of events allows for limiting memory usage on resource-constrained motes, it may also hamper the development and debugging of applications, especially as their complexity increases [Dunkels2006]. Several authors also investigated the possibility of introducing threads to mote programming [...]
