Purpose of the Project Creation of a graphical "programming" interface for a sensor network tasking language STEP (Sensor Task Execution Plan). The graphical interface allows the user to specify a program execution graphically and save the results as a properly formatted STEP file. The software can load a file in STEP format and convert to its corresponding graphical representation. During both phases a type-checker is activated on demand to ensure that both the graphical representation and the STEP file are syntactically correct.

Requirements Specification (1/2) Functional Requirements Design of a graphical “programming” interface for STEP. Load STEP-formatted execution files and convert them to a graphical representation. Type-check the STEP file on demand. Connects to SNBENCH and executes the graphical representation.

Requirements Specification (2/2) Interface Requirements GUI Menu that offers the user all the functionalities needed to design the appropriate modules of a STEP program. Area where the user designs the execution and where all the objects are placed. Current version of the STEP file. INPUT  Graph or STEP-formatted file. OUTPUT  A syntactically correct STEP file, created based on the graphical execution design or the graph of the input STEP file.

Type-checker Validates on demand using a “Compile” button. When an error is detected, a message is shown. Supports every type of STEP node. Current version does not type-check “expression” nodes.

Testing our system Used the STEP files available in testsuite. Loaded the STEP files and produced the STEPGraph. Converted the STEPGraph to its corresponding STEP file. The original file and the new file were identical.

Current Limitations and Future Work Type-check expressions:  More complex than the other STEP nodes. Handling duplicate IDs in multiple STEP programs. Recognize SNAFU-formatted files
