Role-based Automatic Programming Framework for Interworking a Drone and Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks(1) extends their applications as related technologies are developed. Macro-programming is a centralized approach to sensor network programming and well-performed simple applications. However, as wireless sensor networks work with external entities such as drones, application is more complex. Macro-programming is not suitable to these complex applications. In this paper, we proposed a role-based automatic programming framework that is well-performed even under complex working conditions. The proposed framework running on TinyOS provides the role assignment and transition mechanisms for various roles are working concurrently. We also implemented a prototype to verify availability of the proposed framework.
