ITR/SY: a distributed programming infrastructure for integrating smart sensors

As we observed at the time of filing the annual report in August 2008, that that was really a final report on the project. The only unexpended funds at that time was the remaining in the category of REU for which NSF had given a one-year extension. Therefore, we present the work done with the undergraduates in the following section and then reproduce the contents of the annual report from August 2008 for the sake of completeness of this final report.
