<p>Wireless Sensor nodes fall somewhere in between the single application devices that do</p><p>not need an operating system, and the more capable, general purpose devices with the</p><p>resources to run a traditional embedded operating system. Sensor node operating system</p><p>such as TinyOS, Contiki, MantisOS and SOS which is discussed in this paper exhibit</p><p>characteristics of both traditional embedded systems and general-purpose operating systems</p><p>providing a limited number of common services for application developers linking</p><p>software and hardware.</p><p>These common services typically include platform support, hardware management of sensors,</p><p>radios, and I/O buses and application construction etc. They also provide services</p><p>needed by applications which include task coordination, power management, adaptation</p><p>to resource constraints, and networking. The evaluation was concentrated on TinyOS</p><p>including an analysis on version 1.x and 2.x resource management and flexibility and its</p><p>operation with the other wireless sensor node operating systems.</p>
