In this paper we introduce FACTS, a highly flexible middleware architecture able to provide support for a wide range of different applications. Instead of developing middleware and application apart from one another, we seek to combine them at programming level. Our rule-based language, tailored to this concept and the domain of networked sensors, enables high-level software development. The objective is to combine advantages of event-centric processing and rule-based execution while preserving low resource usage.}, file = {http://cst.mi.fu-berlin.de/papers/terfloth06facts.pdf}, keywords = {Wireless Sensor Networks, Middleware, Event-Centric Architecture, Rule-Based Language, Qualitative Simulation}, owner = {terfloth}, theme = {wsn|prog} }
