   1 The main goal of this thesis is to present a way to connect small \gls{IoT}
   2 devices with high level \gls{TOP} implementations languages. This thesis shows
   3 how a new frontend for the class based shallowly embedded \glspl{DSL} called
   4 \gls{mTask} written in \gls{Clean} can be used to compile \gls{IoT}-tasks on
   5 the fly and send them to the device as bytecode which is interpreted. All of
   6 this adheres to the \gls{TOP} philosophy where familiar concepts such as
   7 \glspl{SDS} and task-combinators are available to use.

  17 The structure of the thesis is as follows.
  18 Chapter~\ref{chp:introduction} contains the research questions, motivation and
  19 the structure of the document
  20 Chapter~\ref{chp:theoretical-framework} introduces the reader with all the
  21 terminology and techniques lying at the foundation of the study.
  22 Chapter~\ref{chp:methods} will describe the actual techniques used for the
  23 integration.
  24 Chapter~\ref{chp:results} shows the results in the form of an example
  25 application accompanied with implementation.
  26 Chapter~\ref{chp:conclusion} concludes by answering the research question (s)
  27 and discusses future research.
  28 Appendix~\ref{app:communication-protocol} shows the concrete protocol used for
  29 communicating between the server and client.
