Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for managing a network of sensors (100). A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a sensor (102) belonging to the network of sensors operating in a geographic space having a controller (210) that manages a sensing device (204). The controller can be programmed to locate (302) itself in the geographic space, and assign (304) itself according to its location a zone within a portion of the geographic space and a corresponding data range for storing sensed information. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
