“…In this paper, we focus on TinyOS, which, despite the fact that it is not recent, still represents the reference "operating system" for the class of WSN platforms this paper focuses on. Apart from the hardware requirements, TinyOS has been selected for the following reasons: (1) it has been successfully adopted in previous European projects [18,19] we participated in; (2) for the high number of libraries and example code included out-of-the-box.…”

“…From Table 2, we see that Agilla presents better characteristics than others in terms of multitasking and number of supported platforms, that are mandatory for a wider usage of it in several contexts. In addition, Agilla MW has a wide literature coverage and has been also selected to be exploited in two European research projects (VISION project [18] and SafeCOP project [19,33]).…”

“…This instruction allows agents to retrieve a raw indication the remaining lifetime of a WSN node. This value can then be used to perform energy-driven choices [18,41].…”

“…So, with such an information, agents could, for example, decide to adopt different behaviors or just clone/move to other WSN nodes before the full depletion of the node batteries occurs. This approach has been used in Reference [18]: by considering the shape of the Lithium-Ion batteries discharge curve, a threshold voltage has been defined to be located before the knee of the curve (as shown in Figure 10), enough to give agents enough time to perform reactions.…”

Advances in technology call for a parallel evolution in the software. New techniques are needed to support this dynamism, to track and guide its evolution process. This applies especially in the field of embedded systems, and certainly in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), where hardware platforms and software environments change very quickly. Commonly, operating systems play a key role in the development process of any application. The most used operating system in WSNs is TinyOS, currently at its TinyOS 2.1.2 version. The evolution from TinyOS 1.x and TinyOS 2.x made the applications developed on TinyOS 1.x obsolete. In other words, these applications are not compatible out-of-the-box with TinyOS 2.x and require a porting action. In this paper, we discuss on the porting of embedded system (i.e., Wireless Sensor Networks) applications in response to operating systems’ evolution. In particular, using a model-based approach, we report the porting we did of Agilla, a Mobile-Agent Middleware (MAMW) for WSNs, on TinyOS 2.x, which we refer to as Agilla 2. We also provide a comparative analysis about the characteristics of Agilla 2 versus Agilla. The proposed Agilla 2 is compatible with TinyOS 2.x, has full capabilities and provides new features, as shown by the maintainability and performance measurement presented in this paper. An additional valuable result is the architectural modeling of Agilla and Agilla 2, missing before, which extends its documentation and improves its maintainability.

Telemedicine has been around for decades, and some apparatuses are currently in operation in few hospitals. Relying on advanced wireless technologies, which enable the use of pervasive communications for a variety of different applications, new-generation systems for healthcare become non-invasive, broadband and mobile. High-data rate wireless systems allow users to share huge amounts of data and multimedia content with other users or with service providers. Consequently, the range of potential applications of healthcare assistance expands to include new scenarios that involve very high data rate wireless transmissions like, for instance, seamless exchange of multimedia content. In this chapter, a survey of new-generation wireless communication techniques and systems based on ultra-wideband technology and millimetre-waves radios is provided, with reference to the modern concepts of patient-centric and hospital-centric application scenarios. The opportunities offered by these two broadband wireless communications technologies beyond basic data transfer are highlighted and discussed in the framework of the new application scenarios that these technologies open
