Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been proposed for a large variety of applications. As the number of applications of sensor networks continue to grow, the number of users in se...
Mobile elements, which can traverse the deployment area and convey the observed data from static sensor nodes to a base station, have been introduced for energy efficient data co...
Clustering and data aggregation in wireless sensor networks improves scalability, and helps the efficient use of scarce resources. Yet, these mechanisms also introduce some securi...
This paper considers a large-scale wireless sensor network where sensor readings are occasionally collected by a mobile sink, and sensor nodes are responsible for temporarily stori...
Recent research shows that significant energy saving can be achieved in wireless sensor networks by using mobile elements (MEs) capable of carrying data mechanically. However, th...
