Abstract— We consider the scenario of distributed data aggregation in wireless sensor networks, where each sensor can obtain and estimate the information of the whole sensing fi...
Ecologists instrument ecosystems to collect time series representing the evolution in time and space of relevant abiotic and biotic factors. Sensor networks promise to improve on ...
Distinct from wireless ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks are data-centric, application-oriented, collaborative, and energyconstrained in nature. In this paper, formulate t...
— A wireless network consisting of a large number of small sensors with low-power transceivers can be an effective tool for gathering data in a variety of environments. The data ...
