Kensho is a library designed to distribute a set of programs onto a sensor network (tasking) efficiently using the underlying mechanisms provided by the operating systems. The library offers a set of functions to task the network using a variety of methods, including spatial and temporal methods. Unlike distributed programming abstractions, Kensho actively attempts to separate the role of tasking a sensor network from programming a sensor network application. This allows sensor networks equipped with Kensho to use multiple programming abstractions simultaneously.
