Inhaltsangabe

Wireless embedded systems are networks of wireless nodes that perform tasks that involve communication, sensing, and actuation, embedded in the environment. Since these networks can be large and must run unattended and safely for a long period of time, costs and energy are important design factors. As a consequence, system designs are commonly characterized by very little resources in terms of available energy, memory, communication bandwidth and processing power. Due to these resource constraints, inspecting and building such systems is a challenging task. In this thesis, we present approaches that increase the observability and controllability when testing wireless embedded systems in a pre-deployment testbed setting. By measuring several functional and non-functional properties, tightly time synchronized across the entire network, studying these systems becomes possible in an unprecedented level of detail. For this purpose, we propose a new testbed architecture, present new time synchronization protocols and develop algorithms to trace the program execution.
