Modeling of Sensor Networks Using XRM

From LRDE

Abstract

Sensor networks are composed of small electronic devices that embed processors, sensors, batteries, memory and communication capabilities. One of the main goal in the design of such systems is the handling of the inherent complexity of the nodes, strengthened by the huge number of nodes in the network. For these reasons, it becomes very difficult to model and verify such systems. In this paperwe investigate the main characteristics of sensor nodesdiscuss about the use of a language derived from Reactive Modules for their modeling and propose a language (and a tool set) that ease the modeling of this kind of systems.
