New automated, application-independent methodology for designing
and deploying sensor networks
Following this book's clear explanations, examples, and
illustrations, domain experts can design and deploy nontrivial
networked sensing applications without much knowledge of the
low-level networking aspects of deployment. This new approach is
based on the Abstract Task Graph (ATaG), a data-driven programming
model and an innovative methodology forarchitecture-independent
programming and automatic software synthesis for sensor networks.
ATaG programs are concise, understandable, and network-independent
descriptions of global application functionality that can be
automatically compiled onto any target deployment.
The book begins with an overview chapter that addresses the
important issues of programming methodologies and compares various
programming models for sensor networks. Next, the authors set forth
everything you need for designing and deploying sensor networks
using ATaG, including:
Detailed description of the ATaG model's features
System-level support for architecture-independent
programming
Examination of the graphical programming and software synthesis
environment for ATaG
Case study illustrating the process of end-to-end application
development and software synthesis using ATaG
Throughout the book, the authors provide code excerpts and
figures to help clarify key concepts and explain each step.
For programmers, the graphical formalism of the ATaG program,
coupled with the fact it uses an existing language (Java), means
that no special training is needed to start developing and
deploying applications in ATaG. Everything you need to know is
clearly set forth in this book.
