Abstract: A research prototype of a networked smart sensors system is described. The contributions of this system study are in three areas: 1) A network interface which defines a common data model, a set of operations, and the ability to customize the node operation in a consistent manner; 2) A transducer interface which supports the 'electronic data sheet' for transducers with voltage and digital outputs; 3) A set of node behaviors which simplify the installation and configuration of a group of nodes to perform a measurement of control application.
