We present a simple model of self-organization for sensor networks that addresses two conflicting requirements: hazard situations should be reported to a sink node with as little ...
Sensor networks are promising unprecedented levels of access to information about the physical world, in real time. Many areas of human activity are starting to see the benefits ...
Clock synchronization is a crucial basic service in typical sensor networks, since the observations of distributed sensors more often than not need to be ordered ("a happened...
In this paper, we investigate the use of limited infrastructure, in the form of wires, for improving the energy efficiency of a wireless sensor network. We call such a sensor netw...
Recent research shows that significant energy saving can be achieved in wireless sensor networks with a mobile base station that collects data from sensor nodes via short-range co...
SwissQM is a novel sensor network platform for acquiring data from the real world. Instead of statically hand-crafted programs, SwissQM is a virtual machine capable of executing b...

Sensor networks are widely used in many applications for collecting information from the physical environment. In these applications, it is usually necessary to track the relation...
By embedding sensors in mobile devices, it is possible to exploit the ubiquitous presence of these devices to construct applications for large-scale sensing and monitoring of envi...
