This paper describes BiSNET (Biologically-inspired architecture for Sensor NETworks), a middleware architecture that addresses several key issues in multi-modal wireless sensor ne...
: Suppose we need to watch a set of targets continuously for a required period of time, and suppose we choose any number of sensors from a fixed set of sensor types and place them ...
We explore the capabilities of a robotic sensing system designed to locate objects underwater through active movement of an electric field emitter and sensor apparatus. The system ...

A location-aware scheme uses a priori knowledge of the deployed sensor nodes of some target field in a sensor network. Such location-aware schemes improve substantially higher net...
Suppose we are given a set of objects that cover a region and a duration associated with each object. Viewing the objects as jobs, can we schedule their beginning times to maximiz...

Due to the application-specific nature of wireless sensor networks, application-aware algorithm and protocol design paradigms are highly required in order to optimize the overall ...
Scalability and extended lifetime are two critical design goals of any large scale wireless sensor network. A two-tiered network model has been proposed recently for this purpose....
In this paper, we focus our attention on the problem of assigning initial secrets to users in ad-hoc network (respectively, sensors in a sensor network) so that they can use those...

Wireless sensor networks constitute the platform of a broad range of applications related to national security, surveillance, military, health care, and environmental monitoring. ...
Most fault-tolerant schemes for wireless sensor networks focus on power failures or crash faults. Little attention has been paid to the data inconsistency failures which occur whe...
