Accurate and synchronized time is crucial in many sensor network applications due to the need for consistent distributed sensing and coordination. In hostile environments where an...
Hardware-timestamping is essential for achieving tight synchronization in networking applications. This mechanism is selectively used on few high-cost tailored systems. Actual μP...
In South-East Asia, huge swarms of fireflies synchronously emit light flashes to attract mating partners. The underlying principle can be used to implement a robust and scalable d...
—In wireless sensor networks, in-network aggregation is the process of compressing locally the data gathered by the sensor nodes, so that only the compressed data travel across s...
—Programming Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications is known to be a difficult task. Part of the problem is that the resource limitations of typical WSN nodes force programm...
