The document summarizes Shiwangi Yadav's mid-semester presentation on data aggregation in wireless sensor networks. It discusses wireless sensor networks and defines data aggregation. It describes the main goal of data aggregation in WSNs as gathering and aggregating data in an energy efficient manner to enhance network lifetime. It then outlines four common strategies for data aggregation - centralized approach, in-network aggregation, tree-based approach, and cluster-based approach. For each approach it provides a brief description and discusses advantages and disadvantages. The presentation concludes with discussing future plans to further investigate issues of data aggregation related to redundancy elimination, delay, accuracy, and traffic load.
