   1 The existing \gls{C}-backend for the \gls{mTask}-\gls{EDSL} generates a
   2 self-contained \gls{iTasks}-like \gls{TOP} system for microcontrollers. The
   3 added view for the \gls{mTask}-\gls{EDSL} does not result in a
   4 self-contained system but compiles the expressions to bytecode representing a
   5 single \gls{Task}. The device and the server communicate using the
   6 Leader/Follower principle\footnote{Also known as Master/Slave}. Only the server
   7 can initiate a connection with a device and only the server can produce and
   8 send \glspl{Task} to the device. Concepts such as \glspl{SDS} are available on
   9 the device and are the main use of communication between the client and the
  10 server.

  12 Chapter~\ref{chp:arch} elaborates on the considerations and implementation of
  13 the system.
