The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for
the deployment and use of an intelligent sensor network. More
particularly, the method, system, and program product of the present
invention enable the deployment and use of fused sensors in an arbitrary
area or volume. In a first aspect, the invention provides a method for
employing a multi-sensor network, the method comprising the steps of
employing a first sensor, employing a plurality of additional sensors, a
position of each additional sensor within the network being relative in
at least two dimensions to only one of the first sensor and an adjacent
sensor nearer the first sensor, and employing a routing algorithm for
determining a routing path for data in the network.
