The Design of an Acquisitional Query Processor For Sensor Networks

Summary: Acquisitional query processing (ACQP) for sensor networks optimizes sampling and delivery to reduce power. TinyDB on Mica/TinyOS shows major power savings and higher accuracy by adding acquisition control to SQL and guiding optimization and execution. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
