Sensors have become a very trendy research area during the last few years covering a wide range of applications such as habitat monitoring, military surveillance, information collecting etc. . . Sensors used for these purposes needs to be deployed very densely and in a random fashion. They should be able to operate without human intervention. Clustering is a technique employed to increase the various capabilities of a sensor network. In this paper we discuss about the design and implementation issues of clustering algorithms employed in sensor networks.
