A File System for Resource Abstraction in Ubicomp

This poster proposes a file system as an abstraction layer for a uniform way of accessing any system resource on wireless sensor nodes. Even functions and libraries can be represented and accessed in this uniform way allowing developers a novel way to design and implement applications. A lightweight implementation on our Particle Computer platform is described and performance measurements prove small overhead for resource access.
