Wireless sensor networks have the potential to revolutionize research areas andindustries that require the distributed collection and aggregation of data,e.g., civil engineering, biology, and geology. However, to date their impacthas fallen short of this potential. This is not surprising; wireless sensornetworks are difficult to design and program. Experts in application domainssuch as biology and civil engineering have neither the training in embeddedsystem programming and design required to develop adequate wireless sensornetworks, nor the time or inclination to become embedded systems designers.For wireless sensor networks to live up to their potential, they must be easyfor application experts to design and program instead of requiring embeddedsystems design expertise.This project seeks to put wireless sensor network design and deployment withinthe reach of applications experts. This project will identify a small set ofapplication archetypes, described in terms meaningful to applicationdevelopers, that capture the most common application structures. Eacharchetype will be backed by a compilable specification written in a simplehigh-level archetype-specific language. After customization, a specificationwill be passed to a synthesis algorithm to produce a working hardware-softwaresystem. Synthesis of efficient wireless sensor networks would be intractablewithout an appropriate hardware-software platform. Therefore, this projectwill also determine the particular types of hardware and software componentsnecessary to enable support for wide range of archetypes. A configurablehardware-software platform will be developed based on these findings.

无线传感器网络有可能彻底改变需要数据分布式收集和聚集的研究领域和工厂，例如土木工程，生物学和地质。 但是，迄今为止，他们的不足之处没有这种潜力。 这不足为奇；无线SensOrnetworks很难设计和编程。 应用领域的专家，例如生物学和土木工程，在嵌入式系统编程和设计中既不进行开发足够的无线感觉网络所需的培训，也不需要成为嵌入式系统设计师的时间或倾向。为无线传感器网络嵌入了无线传感器网络，以使其潜在的潜在的潜在的启动，而不是启动应用程序的专家，而不是嵌入了嵌入式项目。在应用专家的范围内。 该项目将识别一组对ApplicationDevelopers有意义的术语中描述的少量应用原型，该原型捕获了最常见的应用程序结构。 每个章节型将以简单高级特定于特定于原型的语言编写的可编译规范来支持。自定义后，指定将传递到合成算法以生成工作硬件 - 易于处理的系统。 有效的无线传感器网络的综合将是无与伦比的，因为不适当的硬件软件平台。 因此，该项目将确定所需的特定类型的硬件和软件组件，以支持广泛的原型。 将根据这些发现将开发一个配置软件软件平台。
