[cs63201] on instrumenting deterministic scenarious for Project 2

-----------------
All,

As part of your verification process for project 2, you may want to 
provide a means to deterministically control the execution.  The 
following enumerates a couple of options:

1)  Utilize Tython (http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-
1.x/doc/tython/tython.html) to inject control messages to the simulated 
nodes.

2)  Create a Java client (see Oscilloscope application) that can be 
used to inject control messages to the simulated nodes.

3)  Hardcode the order of execution into the application.  As an 
example, have node 0 start the execution process by communicating with 
node 1, in turn node 1 will communicate with node 2, etc.

The last option is the least flexible but easiest to implement. The 
first two options provide greater flexibility, but will be more complex 
to implement.
