Title
MacroLab: a vector-based macroprogramming framework for cyber-physical systems
Abstract
We present a macroprogramming framework called MacroLab that offers a vector programming abstraction similar to Matlab for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). The user writes a single program for the entire network using Matlab-like operations such as addition, find, and max. The framework executes these operations across the network in a distributed fashion, a centralized fashion, or something between the two - whichever is most efficient for the target deployment. We call this approach deployment-specific code decomposition (DSCD). MacroLab programs can be executed on mote-class hardware such as the Telos [24] motes. Our results indicate that MacroLab introduces almost no additional overhead in terms of message cost, power consumption, memory footprint, or CPU cycles over TinyOS programs.
