Short Summary: Issues in Designing Middleware for Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper emphasizes the need of appropriate middleware architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks which is being developed for a variety of applications and introduces design principles associated with.

This proposes a layered architecture for each cluster that consists of a cluster control layer and a resource management layer and a technique for energy-efficient resource allocation in a single-hop cluster, which serves as the basic primitive for the development of the resource management layer.Cluster-based lightweight middleware framework separates application semantics from the underlying hardware, operating system and network infrastructure.

The paper clearly describes the application challenges and related efforts in the introduction part and being structured in a very well readable manner through out.
This also provides a comprehensive overview of Cluster-based middleware architecture. At the end this illustrates simulation results in a very well explained graphical representation.

This paper would be much better if it could have a better conclusion at the end by providing ways and means for future enhancements.
