— In this paper, we propose a quantizer design algorithm that is optimized for source localization in sensor networks. For this application, the goal is to minimize the amount of...
—We describe the development of a set of embedded system building blocks, known as eBlocks. An eBlock network can be viewed as a basic form of sensor network that can be develope...

— Event-driven programming is a popular paradigm for programming sensor nodes. It is based on the specification of actions (also known as event handlers) which are triggered by ...
— Environmental energy is an attractive power source for low power wireless sensor networks. We present Prometheus, a system that intelligently manages energy transfer for perpet...
A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of small, resource-constrained devices and usually operates in hostile environments that are prone to link and node failures. ...
We address the problem of selecting sensors so as to minimize the error in estimating the position of a target. We consider a generic sensor model where the measurements can be in...
Abstract— Recently, several wireless sensor network studies demonstrated large discrepancies between experimentally observed communication properties and properties produced by w...
