Ciao Fatima,
I think the problem is not the programming language you can use...
to develop a
GUI...
The problem is the know how behind the exchange of data between
your GUI
application and the data produced by the simulator.
Two ways:
1) TOSSIM was developed in Java, may be the easiest way is to
follow that
tendency, in order to produce scalable and useful software...
2) There are some communication ports that the TinyOS applications
tools use to
exchange data between PCs and sensor networks, may be the simulator
also has
that functionality... In this maner, you just have to connect your
application
(GUI) with that port...
I think you're confusing TOSSIM in TinyOS 1.x with TOSSIM in 2.x. In
neither case is TOSSIM implemented in Java, but in 1.x there's the
Java-based TinyViz tool. In 2.x TOSSIM is a scriptable entity: the
goal was to do away with the communication ports, which are a huge
runtime overhead. Rather than have IPC and the resulting context
switches (1.x), a 2.x GUI can run in the same process as the simulator.
