The complexity in designing, coding, and testing WSN applications is considered among the most relevant factors that limit the diffusion of WSN technology. In this work we claim that Erlang, a concurrency and distribution-oriented, functional language, could greatly reduce this complexity. Moving from this premise we introduce a new platform, named WSN-Erlang, which leverages the Erlang peculiarities adapting them to the requirements of WSNs. WSN-Erlang also includes a testing and simulation framework, fully supporting the entire life-cycle of WSN applications.

Abstract

The complexity in designing, coding, and testing WSN applications is considered among the most relevant factors that limit the diffusion of WSN technology. In this work we claim that Erlang, a concurrency and distribution-oriented, functional language, could greatly reduce this complexity. Moving from this premise we introduce a new platform, named WSN-Erlang, which leverages the Erlang peculiarities adapting them to the requirements of WSNs. WSN-Erlang also includes a testing and simulation framework, fully supporting the entire life-cycle of WSN applications.
