Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are increasingly being proposed in scenarios whose requirements cannot be fully predicted, or where the system functionality must adapt to changing ...

Sensor network operating systems have to operate with limited hardware resources. Constraints on power consumption greatly reduce the resources available to such an operating syst...
Recent advances in micro electro-mechanical systems and VLSI lithography have enabled the miniaturization of sensors and controllers. Such minitiarization facilitates the deployme...
We have previously proposed PTIDES (Programming Temporally Integrated Distributed Embedded Systems), a discrete-event framework that binds realtime with model time at sensors, act...
