The miniaturization of hardware components has lead to the development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and networked-applications over them. Meanwhile, middleware systems have a...
Wireless networks of visual sensors have recently emerged as a new type of sensor-based intelligent system, with performance and complexity challenges that go beyond that of exist...
: Clustering provides an effective mechanism for energy-efficient data delivery in wireless sensor networks. To reduce communication cost, most clustering algorithms rely on a sens...
In this paper, we propose a novel, cluster-based energy balancing scheme. We assume the existence of a fraction of “strong” nodes in terms of abundant storage, computing and co...
