Controlling sensors and actuators collectively using the COCOS-framework
Maik Krüger, Reinhardt Karnapke, Jörg Nolte · 2007
Cocos (COordinated COmmunicating Sensors)1 is a lean middleware platform for wireless sensor and actuator networks. The major programming abstractions of Cocos are distributed sensor spaces, which enable the collective controlling of sensors or actuators on remote nodes. Thus, Cocosbrings high-level data-parallel programming conceptssuch as global reductions into the world of small networked systems. In this paper we discuss the design rationale of Cocos as well as its in-network processing and aggregation capabilities.
