Abstract
Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSAN) constitute a growing research field in several engineering areas. One very interesting domain of WSAN application is precision agriculture, and in particular, the automatic control of tree irrigation depending on sap flow levels. Nowadays, the software development process followed in these kinds of applications is largely dependent on the platform where the final implementation is done. Consequently, commonly desired attributes such as flexibility, reuse and evolution are relegated to a second level of priority. Nevertheless, the growing interest in WSAN has been led to advances from different points of view: new application domains, new middleware, new simulation environments, and so on. In spite of all these advances, WSAN development is today needed of concrete mechanisms that make easy the software generation process. This paper summarizes our contribution in this field from two points of view: as an agronomic solution and as new opportunities for affording the construction of these systems taking into consideration the most recent advances in software engineering.1
