“…Reconfiguration capability of a kernel is an important feature of the operating system intended to embedded systems and the WSN [10] [11]. Specially, in case of WSN, where the sensor devices are distributed in-situ, the reconfiguration and adaptation at application layer as well as at the kernel level are required in order to accommodate the changes in the environment.…”

“…Designing the embedded and lightweight operating system for WSN is challenging due to severe resource constraints of the micro sensor nodes along with restricted operational lifetime based on battery capacity [1] [12]. The desirable features of such embedded operating system for WSN are reconfiguration capability [10][11] [13] and supporting the dynamic reprogramming of the mote [1]. Reconfiguration capability of the sensor system indicates that the system software as well as the applications can change in runtime [1] [10].…”

The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have received considerable research attention in recent time. The sensor devices of a WSN are severely resource constrained having a very limited operational lifetime. Such sensor devices have to adapt to the changing environment at deployment site and need dynamic reconfiguration. The operating systems supporting the sensor devices should be capable of realization of dynamic reconfiguration at kernel level as well as at application layer. This paper proposes a design framework of nano-kernel, a lightweight operating system for sensors. The proposed nano-kernel architecture incorporates dynamic reconfiguration capability by decoupling the kernel data objects from the policies implemented in the kernel subsystems. Based on the modular design approach, an implementation direction is outlined.
