For all the interest that wireless sensor networks have created
over the past decade, there are few examples to show that they are
truly delivering on this promise and anticipation. What is missing?
Deviating from the usual focus on routing and energy efficiency,
Building Sensor Networks: From Design to Applications attempts to
stitch together the path from conceptual development of
applications, on one end, to actual complete applications at the
other. With this change in perspective, the book examines important
facets of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that are not often
discussed in the literature. From Design Practices to the
Networking Protocols that Glue Applications Together Organized into
three sections, the book presents insights from international
experts representing both industry and academia. The first section,
on design practices, explores alternative ways to approach the
tasks of developing a suitable WSN solution to an application and
assisting that development in a manner that is not necessarily tied
to a particular application. The second section, on networking
protocols, illustrates the impact of the intermediaries-the "glue"
of putting applications together. Chapters look at ways to address
traffic, delays in network clustering, and the coexistence of a WSN
with other systems on a frequency band. The final section of the
book delves into experiences with applications in chemical sensing,
defense, global trade and security, and ecosystem monitoring.
Although these applications may fail the purist definition of an
ideal WSN, they offer valuable lessons for the future development
and deployment of WSNs. Challenge Your Thinking about Designing WSN
Applications Emphasizing the need to build applications, the
contributors present examples of what applications of WSNs could
look like and identify the constraints. Throughout, the book
challenges and illuminates your thinking about how to tame the
complexity of designing a WSN application. It is essential reading
for anyone interested in future wireless technologies.
