Abstract—Wireless sensor networks have gained world-wide attention in recent years, researches were proposed to address challenges of sensor network programming. Making programming simple and flexible encourages users without programming background to learn and adopt wireless sensor network. We present the design of the NTUpreter, a remote programmable platform for wireless sensor network. This platform allows users to program senor nodes through a high-level structured programming language interpreter and supports remote reprogramming therefore reduces the cost and effort of deployment. We also developed a language extension for the interpreter to access low-level hardware and wireless functions. An integrated development environment (IDE) with steep learning curve is also introduced in this work.
