The State Of The Art Of Sensor Networks
Written by an international team of recognized experts in sensornetworks from prestigious organizations such as Motorola, Fujitsu,the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University, andthe University of Illinois, Handbook of Sensor Networks: Algorithmsand Architectures tackles important challenges and presents thelatest trends and innovations in this growing field.
Striking a balance between theoretical and practical coverage, thiscomprehensive reference explores a myriad of possible architecturesfor future commercial, social, and educational applications, andoffers insightful information and analyses of critical issues,including:
* Sensor training and security
* Embedded operating systems
* Signal processing and medium access
* Target location, tracking, and sensor localization
* Broadcasting, routing, and sensor area coverage
* Topology construction and maintenance
* Data-centric protocols and data gathering
* Time synchronization and calibration
* Energy scavenging and power sources
With exercises throughout, students, researchers, and professionalsin computer science, electrical engineering, and telecommunicationswill find this an essential read to bring themselves up to date onthe key challenges affecting the sensors industry.
