This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Wired/Wireless Internet Communication, WWIC 2014, held in Paris, France, during May 27-28, 2014. The 22 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on wireless and wired networks; resource management and next generation services; next generation services, network architecture and applications.

Energy Management in Wireless Sensor Networks discusses this unavoidable issue in the application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). To guarantee efficiency and durability in a network, the science must go beyond hardware solutions and seek alternative software solutions that allow for better data control from the source to delivery. Data transfer must obey different routing protocols, depending on the application type and network architecture. The correct protocol should allow for fluid information flow, as well as optimizing power consumption and resources - a challenge faced by dense networks. The topics covered in this book provide answers to these needs by introducing and exploring computer-based tools and protocol strategies for low power consumption and the implementation of routing mechanisms which include several levels of intervention, ranging from deployment to network operation.
