Sensor networks are expected to evolve into long-lived, autonomous networked systems whose main mission is to provide in-situ users - called actors - with real-time information in support of specific goals supportive of their mission. The network is populated with a heterogeneous set of tiny sensors. The free sensors alternate between sleep and awake periods, under program control in response to computational and communication needs. The periodic sensors alternate between sleep periods and awake periods of predefined lengths, established at the fabrication time.
