Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) composed of large numbers of sensor nodes to monitor the environment and collect data. Self-organization of sensor nodes has been widely investigated to enhance the quality of service provided by WSNs. This paper proposes a Severity based Clustering Algorithm for Emergency (SCAE) for WSNs. The residual energy of nodes and severity of the emergency environment are the...
