ScatterFactory2: An Architecture Centric Framework for New Generation ScatterWeb

Abstract

ScatterFactory2 is a model-driven eclipse-based framework for the new generation of our WSN platform ScatterWeb The already deployed Modular Sensor Boards (MSBs) can be configured, programmed and tested at the same time. This is made possible by the combination of plug-ins for ScatterFactory2. Apart from the high grade of automation, the focus of ScatterFactory2 lies with the aspect of human-computer interfaces for WSN. ScatterFactory2 provides the opportunity to examine different characteristics and properties of WSN-applications illustratively and interactively. The plug-in oriented architecture encourages the enhancement of the tool, when new questions concerning WSN arise. ScatterFactory2 is based wholly on open source components, which are available at no extra cost.
