Wireless sensor-actuator systems (WSAS) offer exciting opportunities for emerging applications by facilitating fine-grained monitoring and control, and dense instrumentation. The large scale of such systems increases the need for such systems to tolerate and cope with failures, in a localized and decentralized manner. We present abstractions for detecting node failures and link failures caused by topology changes in a WSAS. These abstractions were designed and implemented as a set of reusable components in nesC under TinyOS. Results, which demonstrate the performance and viability of the abstractions, based on experiments on an 80 node testbed are presented. In the future, these abstractions can be extended to detect and cope with larger classes of failures in WSAS.
