Developing domain-specific language for wireless sensor network application development (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Salman, A., & Al-Yasiri, A. (2016, December). Developing domain-specific language for wireless sensor network application development. Presented at The 11th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST-2016), Barcelona-Spain

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have a potential for a wide scope of uses in the real-world environment. However, WSN application development is considered a challenging and complex task because of the complexity in low-level details, which a develop...
