Abstract
This paper explores the structural and behavioural similarities that exist between the chemical constitution of natural substances and WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) topology. It introduces Atomic Topology Management (AToM), which uses concepts like WSN electron, WSN nucleus, WSN photon, and WSN atom to model sensor node, base station, message and basic WSN subset consisting of one base station and several sensor nodes. We subsequently extend the modeling to explain the basic behaviours of WSNs. The paper describes naming rules for topology management and based upon this, we devise and test some basic algorithms for energy and load balancing.
