Operating Systems for Multitasking Sensor Networks: A Survey
Abstract
Development of multitasking operating systems for sensor networks and other low-power electronic devices is motivated by the networked application environment. These operating system’s multitasking capability is severely limited because traditional stack management techniques perform poorly on small-memory systems without virtual memory support. This paper formalizes different multitasking operating systems like Mat’e, Contiki, MANTIS OS, t-kernel, RETOS, LiteOS, TOSThreads, Sensmart. This paper analyses all these operating systems for their performance in multitasking parameters. Under multitasking parameters out of these operating systems Sensmart performs best.
