N2 - Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) depend on remote human interaction. This slows the real time response to an event. Certain applications require rapid response to events detected by sensor nodes. The use of actors in a WSN enhances the real time response of the whole network. The coordination of actors to sensed events is thus vital for the efficient operation of the network. The goal is to optimise coordination between actors to determine which actors respond to an event message. We provide a model to determine which actors respond to an event based on Info-gap Decision Theory. We show that it is possible to choose some correct actors out of a set when faced with severe uncertainty about the environment.
