This paper describes the effort to add another type of leaf task that
focusses on microcontrollers. Microcontrollers are often not powerful
enough to run a full-fledged task server and therefore there is the need to
-introduce special microcontroller tasks. Effort for this is already made by by
-the department~\cite{koopman_tasks_2016}. However, communication between the
-\emph{mTask} and the iTasks system is still lacking and exactly that will be the
-goal of the project. This requires adding a new type of leaf task that allows
-the user to run \emph{mTasks} on microcontrollers. The leaf task should
+introduce special microcontroller tasks. Effort for this is already made by the
+department~\cite{koopman_tasks_2016}. However, communication between the
+\emph{mTask} and the iTasks system is still lacking and exactly that will be
+the goal of the project. This requires adding a new type of leaf task that
+allows the user to run \emph{mTasks} on microcontrollers. The leaf task should
abstract away from communication techniques and it should be relatively easy to
add techniques. Techniques that are interesting to experiment with is Serial
communication, Bluetooth, \textsc{WiFi}, \textsc{GSM} and \textsc{LoRa}.
-\mTask{}s describe a task in an imperative way and allow the functionality of
-the embedded device to be attached to an \iTasks{} system.
+In short, \mTask{}s are imperative tasks that are executed on the
+microcontroller and therefore add the functionality of the embedded device to
+an \iTasks{} system.
