			Event-driven operating systems such as TinyOS are the preferred choice for wireless sensor networks. Alternative 
			designs such as MANTIS following a classical multi-threaded approach are also available. Event-based systems are 
			generally more energy efficient than multi-threaded systems. However, multi-threaded systems are more capable than 
			event-based systems of supporting time critical tasks as task preemption is supported. Timeliness can be traded for 
			energy efficiency by choosing the appropriate operating system. In our recent work we have shown that the multi-threaded 
			system MANTIS can be modified to be as energy efficient as TinyOS. As a result, the modified MANTIS can be used to fit 
			both sensor network design goals of energy efficiency and timeliness. This solution is not considered optimal as most 
			existing sensor network applications and software libraries are developed for TinyOS. Therefore, we present a TinyOS 
			modification that adds preemption while retaining the existing TinyOS structure and features.
