Purely Functional Programming for Sensor Nets
Macroprogramming Myriads of Sensors
We are investigating high level languages for programming diverse, distributed networks of sensors. Our goal is to greatly simplify sensor network application design by providing high-level programming abstractions and primitives that automatically compile down to the complex, low-level operations implemented by each sensor node. The language described in the paper, Regiment, is purely functional and uses techniques such as monads and functional reactive programming. It'd be quite ironic if this turned out to be the 'killer app' of pure FP. Sensor nets are related to Amorphous Computing and Swarm Computing which though mentioned in LtU appear never to have been a topic despite being quite deserving.
