Abstract

In this paper we present new developments in the expressiveness and in the theory of a Calculus for Sensor Networks (CSN). We combine a network layer of sensor devices with a local object model to describe sensor devices with state. The resulting calculus is quite small and yet very expressive. We also present a type system and a type invariance result for the calculus. These results provide the fundamental framework for the development of programming languages and run-time environments.
