Abstract :
Distributed sensor networks (DSN) often lead to high volumes of data to acquire and the implementation of the data acquisition is highly dependable on the application. In this paper, we define a merit factor (MF), which allows for quantitative comparison of different possible implementations of data acquisition system. Results of the application of this factor to high-energy physics experiments are presented
