This position paper describes initial efforts and ideas for the development of a middleware framework to support the operation of adaptive Wireless Sensor Networks applications with real-time and dependability requirements. We identify a set of underlying services that need to be implemented as part of this framework, explaining why they are needed and what they provide. In order to illustrate how this middleware can be used and its potential benefits, we consider the well-known LQER routing protocol to show how it must be changed to incorporate probabilistic real-time requirements and meet them in a dependable way.
