We present DESALalpha, a realization of the dynamic embedded sensor-actuator language for Telos-based devices. The platform provides native support for: (i) rule-based programming; (ii) synchronized action scheduling; (iii) neighborhood management; and (iv) distributed state sharing. We describe the design and implementation of DESALalpha, present examples that illustrate its use, and summarize the resource requirements of compiled applications. Finally, we present lessons learned based on our use of DESALalphaduring the past year.
