TL;DR: A novel component and binding model for networked embedded systems (LooCI) that allows developers to model rich component interactions, while providing support for easy interception, re-wiring and re-use and imposes minimal overhead on developers.

TL;DR: A rich next-generation middleware platform designed to support wireless sensor network based environmental monitoring along with a supporting hardware platform is introduced and deployed in a real-world river monitoring scenario in the city of São Carlos, Brazil.

TL;DR: The Loosely-coupled Component Infrastructure (LooCI) is introduced, a middleware for building distributed component-based WSN applications that advances the state-of-the-art by cleanly separating distributed concerns from component implementation, supporting application-level interoperability between heterogeneous WSN platforms and providing compatibility testing of bindings at runtime.

TL;DR: DaviM, the Distrinet Adaptable Virtual Machine is presented and how it allows to customize sensor behavior, to extend its functionality and to execute multiple applications in parallel is described.

TL;DR: The design of LooCI is reported on and a prototype implementation for the Sun SPOT is described, which is then evaluated in context of a real-world river monitoring and warning scenario in the city of Sao Carlos, Brazil.
