As an alternative to ad hoc wireless sensor networks, we propose to utilize the mobile devices that are carried by people who walk along the site on which the sensors are deployed....
Declarative queries are proving to be an attractive paradigm for interacting with networks of wireless sensors. The metaphor that “the sensornet is a database” is problematic,...

In this paper we describe the deployment of an offshore wireless sensor network and the lightweight intelligence that was integrated into the data acquisition and forwarding softwa...
—Sensor deployment is a fundamental issue in a wireless sensor network, which often dictates the overall network performance. Previous studies on sensor deployment mainly focused...
