| OS | Sensor Name | Organisation | Key Features |
| TinyOS | BSN, BTNode, CITNode, COTS Dust Family, DOT, DSY25, EnOcean, EyesIFX 1/2, Fleck, Imote 1, Imote 2, Kmote, MICA, MICA2DOT, MICAz, MICA2, Rene, Rene 2, RISE, ScatterWeb/ESB, Sensinode, Shimmer, TinyNode 584, Tyndall Mote, WiseNet, GNOMES | UC Berkeley | By far the most popular wireless sensor network OS. TinyOS is based on an event-driven programming model.TinyOS programs are composed into event handlers and tasks with run-to-completion-semantics. Both the TinyOS system and programs written for TinyOS are written in a special programming language called nesC (Network Embedded Systems C). Optimised for memory limitations. Current version includes features such as a fully preemptable application-level threads library known as TOSThreads, and a runtime memory protection service called Safe TinyOS. |
