What is the Wiselib?
The Wiselib is an algorithm library for sensor networks. It contains various algorithm classes (for instance, localization or routing) that can be compiled for several sensor network platforms such as iSense or Contiki, or the sensor network simulator Shawn. It is completely written in C++, and uses templates in the same way as Boost and CGAL. This makes it possible to write generic and platform independent code that is very efficiently compiled for the various platforms.
We provide easy-to-use interfaces to the OS, which simplifies the development process and decreases the need for dealing with low-level functionality of specific hardware platforms. Algorithms can even be run in a simulation environment first (for debugging purposes, for example), and then compiled for real hardware platforms without changing any line of algorithm code.
Algorithms can be directly integrated in your application. For example, when developing an application for iSense that collects sensor data values, a Wiselib routing algorithm can be used to route the data to a sink. Another scenario are pure Wiselib applications: We provide an own application_main that is called by Wiselib code, and you can integrate algorithm implementations there. The advantage is that these applications can be compiled for any supported platform, without changing any line of code (instead, just makefile targets). Similarly to the own Wiselib application, any algorithm can be compiled as an OpenCom? component, which allows for dynamically loading an algorithm in your application.
