Abstract
The possibility to employ reaction-di®usion models to build spatial patterns in sensor networks has been advocated in other works. Nevertheless it has not been investigated how the biologically-inspired solutions perform in comparison to more traditional ones taking into account speci¯cities of sen- sor networks like severe energy constraints. In this paper we present some preliminary results on the comparison be- tween a biologically inspired coordination mechanism based on activator-inhibitor interaction and a simple mechanism, where nodes do not communicate but activate their sensing circuitry according to some probability.
