Technological advancements in recent years have enabled the
development of tiny, cheap disposable and self contained battery
powered computers, known as sensor nodes or "motes", which can
accept input from an attached sensor, process this input and
transmit the results wirelessly to some interested device(s). When
a number of these nodes work together, conceivably up to hundreds
of thousands, a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is formed. Research
in the area of wireless sensor networks has become increasingly
wid- pread in recent years, partly due to their wide range of
potential uses and also partly due to the fact that the technology
enabling such networks is now widely available from many di?erent
suppliers, such as: Crossbow, MoteIV, Intel and SUN (java based
motes). These wireless sensor networks have the potential to allow
a level of integration between computers and the physical world
that, to date, has been virtually impos- ble. The uses for such
networks is almost limitless and include such diverse app- cations
as a counter sniper system for urban warfare [1] tracking the path
of a forest re [2], determining the structural stability of a
building after an earthquake [3], or tracking people or objects
inside a building [4], etc.
