In this paper, we describe a functional architecture for wireless sensor networks that leverages this structure to simplify the overall system. Our Tenet architecture has the nice property that the mote-layer software is generic and reusable, and all application functionality resides in masters.}, author = {Ramesh Govindan and Eddie Kohler and Deborah Estrin and Fang Bian and Krishna Chintalapudi and Om Gnawali and Sumit Rangwala and Ramakrishna Gummadi and Thanos Stathopoulos} }
