Of particular interest to mobile sensor networks is the ability to release nodes without a specific destination and have them attempt to scan over the entire area. In order to simulate this behavior, a new algorithm for attachment/detachment was implemented.

The graph shows the time to cover an area for different quantities of deployed nodes.

A large percentage of the area is covered fairly quickly. The last 10 percent, usually consisting of unvisited locations surrounded by covered areas, takes the most time to cover and is proportional to the number of nodes deployed.
