[Avrora] Call for benchmarks

Hi Ben,

If you find anyone with a real world large-scale sensor network 
application please forward me his contact information. I've made a 
security framework for TinyOS and I'm looking for a large real world 
application to demonstrate its scalability/performance for real 
applications. So far I've only been running stress-tests which I 
personally designed and are not very connected with reality. I've been 
searching for someone who would have an open source application for a 
large network in vain.
