Abstract

Recent research on sensor network programming architectures has managed to alleviate many common programming burdens, but has not fully addressed the problems associated with tasking and deployment. This has impeded the development of new multi-purpose sensor networks that require new software abstractions and mechanisms. We present the design of a new software architecture for sensor networks that provides abstractions to explicitly address the issues of tasking and deployment. We also present an initial implementation of our architecture in simulation to investigate the potential memory overheads. Finally, we present a mobile tracking application to demonstrate how to use the abstractions provided by our architecture.
