NeTS - NOSS: High-Level and Efficient Sensor Network Programs

国家科学基金会网络技术和系统（NeTS）CISE/CNS Form 7评审分析和建议提案编号：0435497 PI： Edward科勒研究所： 加州大学洛杉矶分校题目：高层次和有效的传感器网络程序摘要：嵌入式网络传感器的应用程序必须运行良好的资源贫乏，未维护，环境暴露，和不可靠的硬件。 这些硬件限制排除了许多传统的方法来提高可编程性，因为它们强加了高的运行时成本。 因此，系统专家必须参与应用程序开发和部署的每个阶段，科学家无法自行构建传感器应用程序。 这限制了传感器网络解决真实的科学问题的能力，因为部署是由少数系统专家参与的。 该研究计划使用编程语言技术，使高效的传感器网络应用程序易于部署和调整。 一组新的传感器组件和用于组件配置的高级编程语言联合收割机结合在一起，形成了智能、高效的应用程序级服务库。 使用这些服务，科学家可以在两三行代码中定义优化的应用程序，从而实现更快的应用程序部署和调整，以适应不同的现场条件，从而提高科学响应速度。 该项目将产生一个新的TinyOS组件库，一个传感器网络编程语言（SNACK）和编译器，一组为不同应用类型设计的SNACK服务，以及几个示例应用程序，包括一些为课堂使用设计的应用程序。 所有的代码都将免费和广泛分发。

National Science FoundationNetwork Technologies and Systems (NeTS)CISE/CNSForm 7 Review Analysis and RecommendationProposal Number: 0435497PI: Edward Kohler Institution: University of California, Los AngelesTitle: High-level and Efficient Sensor-Network Programs Abstract: Applications for embedded networked sensors must run well on resource-poor, unmaintained, environmentally exposed, and unreliable hardware. These hardware constraints rule out many traditional approaches for improving programmability, since they impose high runtime cost. As a result, system specialists must be involved in every stage of application development and deployment, and scientists cannot construct sensor applications on their own. This limits how well sensor networks can solve real scientific problems, since deployment is gated on the involvement of a few systems experts. This research program uses programming language technology to make efficient sensor network applications easy to deploy and tune. A set of new sensor components and a higher-level programming language for component configurations combine to form smart, efficient libraries of application-level services. Using these services, scientists can define an optimized application in just two or three lines of code, enabling quicker application deployment and tuning for different field conditions and, thus, more responsive science. The project will produce a new TinyOS component library, a sensor network programming language (SNACK) and compiler, a set of SNACK services designed for different application types, and several sample applications, including some designed for classroom use. All of the code will be freely and widely distributed.
