The development of high-level programming environments is essential if wireless sensor networks are to be accessible to non-experts. In this paper, we present the Regiment system, which consists of a high-level language for spatiotemporal macroprogramming, along with a compiler that translates global programs into node-level code. In Regiment, the programmer views the network as a set of spatially-distributed data streams. The programmer can manipulate sets of these streams that may be defined by topological or geographic relationships between nodes. Regiment provides a rich set of primitives for processing data on individual streams, manipulating regions, performing aggregation over a region, and triggering new computation within the network.

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the Regiment language and compiler. We describe the deglobalization process that compiles a …
