nesC Language
• The combination of the TinyOS operating system and the nesC (Gay et al. 2003) programming language
has become the de facto standard for node-centric programming in WSNs .
• The programming language nesC is an extension to the popular C programming language
and provides a set of language constructs to implement code for distributed embedded systems such as
motes.
• Unlike traditional programming languages, nesC must address the unique challenges of WSNs.
• For example, activities in a sensor network (e.g., sensor acquisition, Sensor Network Programming
message transmission and arrival) are initiated by events such as the detection of a change in the physical
environment.
• These events may occur while a node is processing data, that is, sensor nodes must be able to concurrently
perform their processing tasks while responding to events.
• In addition, as discussed many times throughout this book, sensor nodes are typically very resource-
constrained and prone to hardware failures; therefore, programming languages for sensor nodes should take
these characteristics into consideration.
