Abstract :
Recent advances in wireless technology have enabled the rapid development of wireless sensor networks. Such networks, consisting of ten to thousands of randomly deployed nodes collaborating to achieve a goal, are used in a variety of applications. We have developed a new framework called TinyMaCLaS(tiny middleware and compositional language for sensor networks) for sensor networks that simplifies the process of developing applications. As a part of this framework, we have developed a COMiS(component oriented middleware for sensor networks). Most of the protocols and middleware argue scalability through simulations. Unfortunately, theoretical analysis does not exist for scalability. We have done theoretical analysis, in order to prove the scalability of our middleware. The paper presents the theoretical analysis, and it can be used for any middleware or protocol.
