Abstract
Recent advances of embedded and wireless technologies make ubiquitous wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) a reality. While individual sensor nodes are relatively easy to use, the overall system behaviors are difficult to model and program. This paper presents a novel system-level software design methodology using a concurrent and reactive programming language, SystemJ, in designing distributed pervasive applications based on WSANs with no requirement of any additional middleware. A context-aware pervasive service case study, where multiple fixed and mobile IPv6-enabled WSAN nodes are deployed in an office environment for RSSI-based localization and automated lighting control based on the user location, is designed using SystemJ.
