    abstract = {The advances in sensing devices and integrated circuit technology
have allowed for the development of easily "reconfigurable smart sensor"
products. Primarily utilizing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, we
have developed reconfigurable smart sensor, consisting of a microprocessor,
GPS receiver, RF transceiver, and sensor. The standard serial control
interface allows for ease of interchangeability for upgrades in RF
transmission schemes as well as customizing the sensing device (i.e.
temperature, video images, IR, motion, Ethernet) per application. The result
is a flexible module capable of gathering sensor data, local processing, and
forwarding compressed information to a central location via other module.
\par In this paper, we present our system infrastructure design and a cost
function based geographical self-routing algorithm for networking
reconfigurable smart sensors. The algorithm allows for the sensors to
automatically negotiate in a geographical radial topology relative to a
central location, utilizing other sensors as routes or hops for forwarding
information to this central location. A number of these sensors are deployed
in the field and performance measurements for routing times are analyzed and
presented.}
