Wireless sensor networks will be used in a wide range of challenging applications where numerous sensor nodes are linked to monitor and report distributed event occurrences. In contrast to traditional communication networks, the single major resource constraint in sensor networks is power, due to the limited battery life of sensor devices. It has been shown that data-centric methodologies can be used to solve this problem efficiently. In data-centric storage, a recently proposed data dissemination framework, all event data is stored by type at designated nodes in the network and can later be retrieved by distributed mobile access points in the network.
