— When an emergency occurs within a building, it may be initially safer to send autonomous mobile nodes, instead of human responders, to explore the area and identify hazards and...
: Nowadays our world becomes more and more connected, and sensors and any kind of mobile (e.g. cell phones, PDAs) and fixed computational devices are linked together through wired...
—Mission-driven sensor networks usually have special lifetime requirements. However, the density of the sensors may not be large enough to satisfy the coverage requirement while ...
Movement patterns, like flocking and converging, leading and following, are examples of high-level process knowledge derived from lowlevel trajectory data. Conventional techniques...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are known to be highly energy-constrained and each network’s lifetime has a strong dependence on the nodes’ battery capacity. As such, the netw...
