The number of computers around us is growing exponentially, compounding the complexity of the systems in which they operate.
Many of these computers are \emph{edge devices} operating in \gls{IOT} systems.
Within these orchestrations of computers, they interact with the environment using sensors and actuators.
Tasks are constructed and compiled at run time.
This allows tasks to be tailor-made for the current work requirements.
The compiled task is sent to the device for interpretation.
-For a device to be used in an \gls{MTASK} system, it must to be programmed once with a lightweight domain-specific \gls{OS}.
+For a device to be used in an \gls{MTASK} system, it is programmed once with a lightweight domain-specific \gls{OS}.
This \gls{OS} executes tasks in an energy-efficient way and automates all communications and data sharing.
All aspects of the \gls{MTASK} system are shown: example applications, language design, implementation details, integration with \gls{ITASK}, and green computing facilities.
When using \gls{MTASK} in conjunction with \gls{ITASK}, entire \gls{IOT} systems are programmed tierlessly from a single source, language, paradigm, high abstraction level, and type system.
Many problems such as semantic friction; maintainability and robustness issues; and interoperation safety are mitigated when using tierless programming.
