As we enter the new millennium, the approach to product development is evolving rapidly. Companies are in the process of creating a distributed design and manufacturing environmen...
Existing deployments of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are often conceived as stand-alone monitoring tools. In this paper, we report instead on a deployment where the WSN is a ke...
Elevated chip temperatures are true limiters to the scalability of computing systems. Excessive runtime thermal variations compromise the performance and reliability of integrated...
Sensor networks are fundamentally constrained by the difficulty and energy expense of delivering information from sensors to sink. Our work has focused on garnering additional si...
A fundamental issue in the design of a wireless sensor network is to devise mechanisms to make efficient use of its energy, and thus, extend its lifetime. Due to the paramount imp...
