Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary design and evaluation of Sympathy, a debugging tool for pre-deployment sensor networks and motivated by Ruan and Pai's DeBox system. Sympathy consists of mechanisms for collecting system performance metrics with minimal memory overhead; mechanisms for recognizing events based on these metrics; and a system for collecting events and their spatio-temporal context.
