This paper proposes a distributed wireless sensor network data stream clustering algorithm to minimise energy consumption and consequently extend the network lifetime. The efficiency in energy usage is as a result of trading-off communication for computation through distributed clustering and successive transmission of local clusters. We present the development of our algorithm, subtractive fuzzy cluster means (SUBFCM), and analyse its energy efficiency as well as clustering performance in comparison with state-of-the-art standard data clustering algorithms such as fuzzy C-means and K-means algorithms. The significance of the SUBFCM algorithm in terms of energy efficiency and clustering performance is proved through simulations as well as experiments.
