Abstract

In previous work, we have designed a tracking protocol, Stalk , for wireless sensor networks and proved it to be self-stabilizing at the pseudo-code (I/O automata) level. However, it is very challenging to achieve and verify self-stabilization of the same protocol at the implementation (TinyOS) level due to the size of the corresponding program at the implementation level. In this paper, we present a lightweight and practical method for specification-based design of stabilization and illustrate this method on the Stalk protocol as our case study.
