This paper presents Meld, a programming language for modular robots, ie, for
independently executing robots where inter-robot communication is limited to immediate …

Wireless sensor networks is an emerging area of embedded systems that has the potential
to revolutionize our lives at home and at work, with wide-ranging applications, including …

Developing applications for smart spaces is a challenging task. Most programming systems
narrowly focus on the embedded computer infrastructure and neglect the spatial aspect of …

Greater availability and affordability of wireless technology has led to an increase in the
number of wireless sensor network (WSN) applications where sense data is collected at a …

This paper proposes a spatio-temporal macroprogramming paradigm for push-pull hybrid
wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The proposed paradigm, called SpaceTime Oriented …

The software that runs on a typical wireless sensor network node must address a variety of
constraints that are imposed by its purpose and implementation platform. Examples of such …

A great deal of recent work has investigated new programming abstractions and models for
sensor networks. However, the complexity of such systems demands a great deal of effort to …

Evolution continues to play an ever-increasing role in software engineering. Although
changing a program is the core of software evolution, program change patterns have not …

Intuitive programming environments targetting application specialists and casual users are
currently lacking. Current work has either required large investment from users to learn …

In this paper, driven primarily from our experiences with experimental deployments, we
propose an architecture that enables the dynamic manipulation of data-flows inside sensor …
