In-network sensor query processing systems (ISQPs), or sensor databases, have been developed to acquire, process and aggregate data from wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Because W...
In this paper, we study the problem of data gathering in multi-hop wireless sensor networks. To tackle the high degree of channel contention and high probability of packet collisi...
A critical resource in a distributed real-time system is its shared communication medium. Unrestrained concurrent access to the network can lead to collisions that reduce the syst...
Sensor networks are promising unprecedented levels of access to information about the physical world, in real time. Many areas of human activity are starting to see the benefits ...
The appliance of wireless sensor networks to a broad variety of applications doubtlessly requires end-user acceptance. End-users from various computer network unrelated disciplines...
