Abstract

Prototyping, testing, and debugging pervasive applications are challenging tasks, but adequate tool support can greatly simplifythem. The authors tackle this problem at the programming-language level. VisualRDK is a specialized graphical programming language thatprovides simple yet powerful constructs to master common programming tasks of pervasive computing applications. A special debug versiondetects and removes bugs in the application logic. The tool also handles distribution and device-specific programming models. This letsdevelopers prototype applications quickly because they can concentrate on application logic.
