Abstract
Ease of programming, deployment and use have been identified by the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) research community as important developments for increasing the awareness and real deployments of WSNs in practical contexts. Platform-level programming abstractions are often the languages of choice. However, declarative streamlike languages are much simpler to use than most other approaches. They are also more inflexible and non-customizable, since they embed everything, from tree-collection routing logic to how the data is to be processed, within the engine itself. In this chapter, we discuss and review programming paradigms for wireless sensor networks and for heterogeneous sensor networks in general. Techniques such as stream and database-style declarative SQL-like queries are reviewed.
