Geração automática de código para redes de sensores sem fio usando Communicating X-machine

Abstract

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has attracted the interest of researchers in applications development that operate on monitoring and control of physical phenomena, relying on its autonomy and exibility, and on its distributed nature and pervasive. If for one hand, this interest provides the development of new applications, on the other it increases its complexity and therefore costs. This is easily understood due their restrictive features, which make the crucial stages of software development (modeling, veri cation and testing) become a non-trivial task. The programming is carried out very close to the operating system (low level), favoring the distraction in the application of logic and thus requiring more concentration of the developer, as well as technical training, rare among experts. This scenario enables the creation of methodologies and tools that support development on this platform. This study aims to use the formal method called Communicating X-Machine in the construction of WSN applications, o ering an intuitive approach and a modular development, providing to the programmer a higher level of abstraction, making it easier to build applications until the code generation in nesC language programming (TinyOS platform). So, this paper aims to facilitate the development of applications, from their modeling until the code generation, providing to the developer an increase in the level of abstraction, a better understanding of the problem through its partitioning and ease of building WSN applications.
