Recent years have witnessed significant interest in wireless sensor networking (WSN) due to its profound effect on the efficiency of many applications, plus the progress in sensor technology, wireless communications, and micro-processors.In order to support the development of these pervasive applications and the management of the underlying WSNs, middleware is needed to provide a uniform programming environment.REED (Rule Execution and Event Distribution) is a middleware solution that allows sensor networks to be programmed at run time via prescriptive rules.The contribution of this paper is twofolded: first, REED is extended to support not only data services, but also self-organization of WSNs; second, the prototype of REED is implemented and the test results show that REED is flexible enough to support WSN application development.
