Abstract

With the complexity of developing embedded Systems and sensor networks, modeling is essential. Modeling before implementation enables designers to explore ideas and verify the correctness of their design early in the design cycle thus reducing iterations during the final stage. This paper deals with implementation of hierarchical model using open source modeling tool Ptolemy. Different directors available with Ptolemy for implementation of sensor networks and embedded systems such as wireless director, discrete event director, and finite state machine director are used. Hierarchical modeling is used for implementing entire system which is combination of different subsystems already implemented with different directors. Wireless director is used as system level director to provide communication between nodes and in turn finite state machine and discrete event directors are used for realizing different modes of system.
