Works-in-Progress ACTIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS:
snBench Development, verification and run-time infrastructure for Sensor Networks. The snBench is a suite of high-level languages and compilers, execution environments, and resource allocation and management components that provide a platform for research on embedded Sensor Networks and distributed Sensory Applications. An expansive view of the snBench can be found in the text [HRTES07] and the code-base is available at: http://csr.bu.edu/snbench
