Sensor networks introduce new resource allocation problems in which sensors need to be assigned to the tasks they best help. Such problems have been previously studied in simplifi...

Abstract. This paper presents a failure diagnosis algorithm for summarizing and generalizing patterns that lead to instances of anomalous behavior in sensor networks. Often multipl...

Bulk transport underlies data exfiltration and code update facilities in WSNs, but existing approaches are not designed for highly lossy and variable-quality links. We observe tha...
Abstract. The optimal allocation of samples for activity-level detection in a wireless body area network for health-monitoring applications is considered. A wireless body area netw...

We consider dual classes of geometric coverage problems, in which disks, corresponding to coverage regions of sensors, are used to cover a region or set of points in the plane. The...

A new generation of ultra wideband (UWB) communication transceivers are becoming available which support both positioning and communication tasks. Transceiver manufacturers envisio...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been proposed for a large variety of applications. As the number of applications of sensor networks continue to grow, the number of users in se...
