The snapshot is an approximate representation of sensor data; it is an interpolation as a function of space coordinates. The new algorithm exploits a prioritized medium access control (MAC) protocol to efficiently transmit information of the sensor data. It scales to a very large number of sensors and it is able to operate in the presence of sensor faults.engHow a cyber-physical system can efficiently obtain a snapshot of physical information even in the presence of sensor faultsjournal article10.1109/WISES.2008.4623298
