Description
Summary:The paper presents a decentralized approach to the solution of the distributed information gathering problem. The main design objectives are scalability with the number of network components, maximum flexibility in implementation and deployment, and robustness to component and communication failure. The design approach emphasizes interactions between components rather than the definition of the components themselves. The architecture specifies a small set of interfaces sufficient to implement a wide range of information gathering systems. The results of two deployment scenarios on an indoor sensor network are presented.
