In computer science, macroprogramming is a programming paradigm where programs for the individual components of a distributed system are compiled or interpreted from a macro-program expressed by a system-level perspective or in terms of the intended global goal. [1]
The aim of macroprogramming approaches is to support expressing the macroscopic interactive behaviour of a whole distributed system of computing devices or agents in a single program.
It has not to be confused with macros, the mechanism often found in programming languages (like C or Scala) to express substitution rules for program pieces.
Macroprogramming originated in the context of wireless sensor network programming [2] [3] [4] and found renewed interest in the context of the Internet of Things [5] and swarm robotics [6] [1].
Macroprogramming shares similar goals (related to programming a system by a global perspective) with multitier programming, choreographic programming, and aggregate computing.
