“…In , a middleware called MWSAN that provides high‐level services for Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) is proposed, where the nodes are not only able to sense environmental data, but can also react by affecting the environment. It follows the component‐oriented paradigm, and it leaves it up to the developers to configure it according to the actor and sensor resources, by taking into consideration issues such as the network configuration, the quality of service and coordination among actors.…”

Embedded systems security is a recurring theme in current research efforts, brought in the limelight by the wide adoption of ubiquitous devices. Significant funding has been allocated to various European projects on this subject area, in order to investigate and overcome the various security challenges. This paper provides an overview of recent EU research efforts pertaining to embedded systems security, where several prominent security issues and the respective proposed approaches are presented. Surveying relatively recent EU research projects, the authors identify 20 such projects that focus on embedded systems security aspects. The investigated technologies are categorised using a layered approach, to facilitate the presentation of the results; the categories comprise the node, network, and middleware and overlay layers, as well as architectures, frameworks and formal validation of the security of embedded systems. From this survey, certain patterns emerge regarding the issues investigated and the technologies researchers focus on, in order to address the said issues. Finally, the existing open issues are summarised, and directions for future research are given. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…MWSAN [11] middleware focuses on the requirements of the QoS and the actor coordination present in WSAN application system. MWSAN has been specified in UM-RTCOM, a component language that provides constructions to define real time characteristics which improve the temporal behavior of WSAN applications.…”

Wireless sensor and actor networks are becoming a basis for a rapidly increasing range of applications in industrial measurement-control (M&C) systems. Each application has different requirements in terms of M&C task, node functionalities, network size, complexity and cost; therefore, it is worthwhile time investment to design and implement a middleware for wireless sensor and actor networks that would be adaptable to various industrial applications of interest with a minimum amount of effort. In this paper, a general-purpose application platform is presented. It provides a solution to reuse coordination, real-time routing, task distribution mechanisms, which facilitates the development of new application systems, and reduces the cost of design and maintain.

“…This approach comprises two distinct layers: a foundation layer, called the middleware kernel, which is the runtime realization of a simple but welldefined software component model, and an on top layer of component frameworks that offer a configurable and extensible set of both middleware and application services. Other example is MWSAN [4], a real-time component-oriented middleware for WSANs, which provides a set of high level services for sensors and actors. Besides considering the real-time as a major aspect, it also takes into account issues such as the network configuration and the quality of service (QoS).…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) constitute a new pervasive and ubiquitous technology. They have been successfully used in various application areas and in future computing environments, WSNs will play an increasingly important role. However, programming sensor networks and applications to be deployed in them is extremely challenging. It has traditionally been an error-prone task since it requires programming individual nodes, using low-level programming issues and interfacing with the hardware and the network. This aspect is currently changing as different highlevel programming abstractions and middleware solutions are coming into the arena. Nevertheless, many research challenges are still open. This paper presents a survey of the current state-of-the-art in the field, establishing a classification and highlighting some likely research challenges and future directions.
