This paper presents a paradigm for reducing communication costs in wireless sensor networks. The first component is our Distributed Asynchronous Clustering protocol (DAC), which self-organises the network into an infrastructure that supports in-network processing, routing, and deployment. The second component, and the focus of this paper, is a data-centric routing protocol where cluster heads build and maintain sets of Bloom filters to inform routing decsions and filter out unproductive
