Abstract

Recent work on virtual machines for wireless sensor networks has demonstrated the benefits of using a Java programming paradigm for resource constrained sensor networks. Results have shown that a virtual machine approach greatly suffers from interpretation overheads. We present run-time compilation of bytecode which leverages from a compact platform independent bytecode application encoding as well as an efficient program execution platform by converting bytecode to native code in situ.
