In recent years, mobile elements (MEs) have been proposed as mechanical carriers of data to prolong the lifetime of sensor networks and to overcome network partitioning problem. A...
Abstract—It may not be feasible for sensor networks monitoring nature and inaccessible geographical regions to include powered sinks with Internet connections. We consider the sc...
Work on early tiny database systems, like TinyDB [17] and Cougar [23] has shown that a declarative approach can provide a powerful and easy to use interface for collecting data fr...
