Data-centric storage in Sensornets

Sensornets are large-scale distributed sensing networks comprised of many small sensing devices equipped with memory, processors, and short-range wireless communication. Making effective use of sensornet data will require scalable, self-organizing, and energy-efficient data dissemination algorithms. Recent work has identified data-centric routing as one such method. In this paper we suggest that a companion method, data-centric storage, may also be a useful approach.
