Abstract:
From the publisher's marketing: Designing, implementing, and operating a wireless sensor network involves a
wide range of disciplines and many application-specific constraints. To make
sense of and take advantage of these systems, a holistic approach is needed
-- and this is precisely what the text Wireless Sensor Networks delivers. Inside, two eminent researchers review the diverse technologies and techniques
that interact in today's wireless sensor networks. At every step, they are guided
by the high-level information-processing tasks that determine how these networks
are architected and administered. Zhao and Guibas begin with the canonical problem
of localizing and tracking moving objects, then systematically examine the many
fundamental sensor network issues that spring from it, including network discovery,
service establishment, data routing and aggregation, query processing, programming
models, and system organization. The understanding gained as a result -- how
different layers support the needs of different applications, and how a wireless
sensor network should be built to optimize performance and economy -- is sure
to endure as individual component technologies come and go. Bibtex: book{zg-wsn-04 , author = "Feng Zhao and Leonidas Guibas" , title = "Wireless Sensor Networks: An Information Processing Approach" , publisher = Elsevier/Morgan-Kaufmann" , year = 2004 } |
