            Abstract : 
This paper discusses a grid-type sensor network with reconfigurable PSoCs as sensor nodes, and details the middleware routines that support the high-level model for distributed programming. The advantages of using reconfigurable PSoCs over other architectures, like MICA2 motes, are also discussed. The paper refers to a case study to illustrate the capabilities of the proposed network concept.
