Web Proto: Aggregate Programming for Everyone

Developing self-adaptive and self-organizing systems can be a difficult task, even for experts, because it has traditionally required programming individual devices in the hope that they exhibit the desired global behavior. A new and better approach has been emerging: program the global behavior and derive the local behaviors-aggregate programming. This demonstration showcases our new WebProto software: a free and open-source web application that makes state-of-the-art advances in aggregate programming readily available to a broad community of students, teachers, system programmers, and researchers by alleviating the shortcomings associated with current aggregate programming toolkits.
