Abstract :
This paper proposes a concurrency model which integrates the asynchronous and event-driven nature of networked sensors with a more familiar programming style for the developer. We argue that coroutines can provide a basis for this integration and describe some details of its implementation, which was developed as an extension to the TinyOS operating system.
