— Today’s vehicles and on-road infrastructures are equipped with a large number of sophisticated sensory devices. These sensory devices are capable of monitoring and providing ...
We present a novel method for tracking the movement of people or vehicles in open outdoor environments using sensor networks. Unlike other sensor network-based methods, which depe...
In this paper, we present a novel approach to automatically determine the positions of sensors and actuators in an ad-hoc distributed network of heterogeneous general purpose comp...
Sensor networks have recently gained popularity for a wide spectrum of applications. When performing monitoring tasks in hostile environments, security requirements become critical...
— The effectiveness of cluster-based distributed sensor networks depends to a large extent on the coverage provided by the sensor deployment. We propose a virtual force algorithm...
Abstract— Standard embeded sensor nework models emphasize energy efficiency and distributed decision-making by considering untethered and unattended sensors. To this we add two ...

Abstract—In the paper, we devise and evaluate a fully decentralized, light-weight, dynamic clustering algorithm for target tracking. Instead of assuming the same role for all the...
Sensors are emerging as a key area of interest in operating systems research, with a main focus on sensor networks. Turning the relationship around, we propose the use of low-powe...
Current developments in processing data streams are based on the best-effort principle and therefore not adequate for many application areas. When sensor data is gathered by inte...
