Predictable performance is key for many WSN applications. Recent efforts use models of the environment, the employed hardware, and protocols to predict network performance. Toward...
The last decade has seen a growing interest in air quality monitoring using networks of wireless low-cost sensor platforms. One of the unifying characteristics of chemical sensors...
New transceiver technologies have emerged which enable power efficient communication over very long distances. Examples of such Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies a...
Embedded visible light communication (VLC) systems built with low-cost commodity hardware are starting to attract the interest of the embedded systems community, but are yet unexp...
Embedded wireless sensors, once deployed, may remain in active use for decades. At the same time, as motes come to dominate both the number of hosts and data traffic of the Inter...

Most wireless systems suffer from the lack of a dedicated control plane. High-priority control messages have to contend for medium access the same as any other message. Existing m...
Determining where and when to invest resources during and after a disruption can challenge policy makers and homeland security officials. Two decision models, one static and one d...
