In this talk, I will discuss the Tenet architecture for sensor
networks. Tenet is motivated by the observation that future
large-scale sensor network deployments will be tiered, consisting of
motes in the lower tier and masters, relatively unconstrained 32-bit
platform nodes, in the upper tier. Masters provide increased network
capacity. Tenet constrains multi-node fusion to the master-tier while
allowing motes to process locally-generated sensor data. This
simplifies application development and allows mote-tier software to be
reused. Applications running on masters task motes by composing task
descriptions from a novel tasklet library. The Tenet system contains
novel subsystems for congestion control and energy management, which I
will describe in some detail. Finally, I will present our experiences
from several deployments of the Tenet software.
