Sensor networks are one important building block towards the realisation of context-aware applications. Suitable communication protocols and middleware solutions are necessary to ...
In multihop wireless sensor networks that are often characterized by many-to-one (convergecast) traffic patterns, problems related to energy imbalance among sensors often appear. S...
Sensor networks are designed especially for deployment in adverse and nonaccessible areas without a fixed infrastructure. Therefore, energy conservation plays a crucial role for t...
The development of practical, localized algorithms is probably the most needed and most challenging task in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks (WASNs). Localized algorithms are a spe...
Sensor network application experts such as biologists, geologists, and environmental engineers generally have little experience with, and little patience for, general-purpose and ...
