Applications of multiple processors embedded in the systems involved with entertainment, informatics, climate control, communication, transportation, and food preparation are already commonplace. A network of these embedded processors presents application development challenges since the state space grows exponentially as new devices attach to the network. The programming model for such systems will need to change if reliable systems are to be realized. By observing information about sensorimotor activity, such systems can gather information useful to programming the network. Through such interaction, a network can build hierarchies of shareable computational structures for representing various activities. This application domain presents additional challenges …
