Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the most recent coordination extension to the PicOS-tuples environment, inspired, to a degree, by B-Threads and FACTS. We illustrate the extensions with two design patterns, highly useful in WSN computations, known as regulative superimposition and distributed detection. Those patterns are employed in a debugging protocol that retrieves snapshots of node states. We demonstrate how our new idioms can be propitious for separating concerns in WSN programming using tuples.
