    22During the past decade, collection and dissemination have emerged as 
    33the two dominant communication patterns in sensor networks.  Going 
    4 forward, these basic services will remain important, but many emerging

    2525contributions~\cite{trickle,mintroute}, and influence collection and 
    26 dissemination research to this day~\cite{flashflood,ctp,dip}.  Perhaps 
    27 equally important, the early efforts established the canonical system

    29 sensor nodes streaming data to a resource-rich root node.

    31 Collection routing continues to play an important role today but its 
     28Over time and with experience, the community began to conclude that 
     29reasoning about (and implementing) localized algorithms proved to be 
     30more challenging and less important than originally anticipated. 
     31Perhaps equally important, through many application deployments, the 
     32community converged on a canonical system architecture for stationary 
     33sensor networks: a bevy of resource-poor sensor nodes streaming data 
     34to a resource-rich root node.  Eventually, centralized implementations 
     35would leverage this architecture and exhibit competitive performance 
     36without the complexity overhead common to localized algorithms.  And, 
     37the early proponents of directed diffusion would argue for centralized 
     38routing~\cite{centroute} and application logic~\cite{tenet}, and 
     39others would converge on this architecture approach~\cite{koala}.

     41Today, collection routing continues to play an important role, but its 
    3242best effort reliability semantics -- due to its lack of end-to-end 
    3343acknowledgements -- proved insufficient for many scientific 
     
    6171space~\cite{?}.  Some require non-trivial state or frequent 
    6272messaging~\cite{?}.  Some require stable landmarks~\cite{?}.  And all 
    63 have non-trivial code overhead.

    6575This paper embraces a third path that preserves collection routing, 
    6676leverages the contemporary architecture of resource-poor sensor nodes 
    6777reporting to one (or more) resource-rich root node(s), and provides a 
    68 pragmatic, evolutionary, and architecturally-principled path forward.
