In mobile wireless sensor networks, sensors move in the monitored area at any direction and at any speed. Unlike many other networking hosts, sensor nodes do not have global addres...
Macro programming a distributed system, such as a sensor network, is the ability to specify application tasks at a global level while relying on compiler-like software to translat...
