IEEE: Notice of Retraction

I was browsing through IEEE Xplore for papers on wireless sensor network; for term report due this Friday.

Then I stumbled upon a paper containing unusual first page, it says:

Notice of Retraction 
 After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE's Publication Principles. We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper. The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.

Scary, definitely.

But still, the content looks normal: it shows model on residual energy consumption on circular direction propagation from actually-used and wasted energy to propagate the waves. It then compares total energy consumption on grid and non-grid cluster of wireless-networked sensors.

It was pretty interesting read.
O, poor folks.

FYI, it's DOI 10.1109/ETCS.2010.342.
