Publisher's Synopsis
Wireless Sensors are small, cheap, low maintenance and will revolutionize wireless communications.
Wireless sensor networks is a rapidly growing discipline with new technologies emerging, new applications being developed and standards being finalized. Sensors and actuators allow for entirely new kinds of distributed embedded systems. Wireless nodes attached to circuits or appliances form a dynamic, multi–hop routing network that connects each node to more powerful networks and processing resources.
The applications are becoming an important part of everyday life as well as having a crucial role to play in industrial and military situations. In Wireless Sensor Network Designs Anna Hac explains everything you need to know about sensor technologies, design issues, protocols, and accepted solutions for wireless sensor network architectures.
