-This thesis presents a way to connect small \gls{IoT} devices with high level
-\gls{TOP} implementations languages. It shows how a new frontend for the class
-based shallowly embedded \glspl{DSL} called \gls{mTask} written in \gls{Clean}
-can be used to compile \gls{IoT}-tasks on the fly and send them to the device
-as bytecode which is interpreted. All of this adheres to the \gls{TOP}
-philosophy where familiar concepts such as \glspl{SDS} and task-combinators are
-available at ease.
+This thesis introduces a innovative way to connect small \gls{IoT} devices to
+high level \gls{TOP} implementations languages. It demonstrates how a novel
+frontend for the existing class-based shallowly \gls{EDSL} called \gls{mTask}
+by Koopman et al.\ --- written in \gls{Clean} --- can be employed to compile
+\gls{IoT}-\glspl{Task} on the fly and send them to devices as interpretable
+bytecode. All of which adheres to the \gls{TOP} philosophy where common
+concepts such as \glspl{SDS} and \gls{Task}-combinators are available at ease.
