Abstract
In this paper we discuss the scalability of an environment for distributed sensor-network resource-allocation. We cover the underlying architecture and demonstrate the scalability of the architecture through a number of experiments and show that different code configurations can have an impact on run-time performance. We conclude with a discussion of some of the challenges in scaling the environment further.
