• Wireless sensor network
• Activity-driven
• Network clustering
• Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency and high data relevancy are crucial for wireless sensor network applications; challenges usually tackled by network clustering or event-driven techniques focused only on the performance of clusterheads or too restricted to specific applications. In contrast, this paper formalizes the combined NP-Complete problem of event-driven network clustering. We hereby propose AWARE, an innovative distributed activity-aware and energy-efficient technique for the maintenance of network%26apos;s communication structure. AWARE groups active nodes together, thus making clusterheads report efficiently with only relevant data. On top of several theoretical proves, extensive performance studies validate AWARE%26apos;s effectiveness and efficiency.
