ABSTRACT
We argue that sensing and computation platforms that
leverage RFID technology can realize "smart-dust" ap-
plications that have eluded the sensor network commu-
nity. RFID sensor networks (RSNs), which consist of
RFID readers and RFID sensor nodes (WISPs), extend
RFID to include sensing and bring the advantages of
small, inexpensive and long-lived RFID tags to wireless
sensor networks. We describe sample applications suited
