This edited book presents the results of the 5th Workshop on
Real-world Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN). The purpose of this
workshopwas to bring together researchers and practitioners working
in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world
experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. Included
were, nonetheless, emerging forms of sensing such as those that
leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots.
Indeed, when working with real-world experiments or deployments,
many new or unforeseen issues may arise: the network environment
may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to
very heterogeneous network structures; software development for
large scale networks poses new types of problems; the performance
of prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed
system; whereas actual sensor network deployments may need a
complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration.
Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not
directly applicable to operational networks; it is therefore
imperative for the community to produce results from experimental
research. The workshop collected the state of the art in emerging
and current research trends dealing with Real-world Wireless Sensor
Networks, with the aim of representing a stepping stone for future
research in this field."

What does it mean to be nude? What does the nude do? In a series of
constantly surprising reflections, Jean-Luc Nancy and Federico
Ferrari encounter the nude as an opportunity for thinking in a way
that is stripped bare of all received meanings and preconceived
forms. In the course of engagements with twenty-six separate
images, the authors show how the nudes produced by painters and
photographers expose this bareness of thought and leave us naked on
the verge of a sense that is always nascent, always fleeting, on
the surface of the skin, on the surface of the image. While the
nude is a symbol of truth in philosophy and art alike, what the
nude definitively and uniquely reveals is unclear. In Being Nude:
The Skin of Images, the authors argue that the nude is always
presented as both vulnerable in its exposure and shy of
conceptualization, giving a sense of the ultimate ineffability of
the meaning of being. Although the nude represents the revealed
nature of truth, nude figures hold a part of themselves back,
keeping in reserve the reality of their history, parts of their
present selves, and also their future possibilities for change,
development, and demise. Skin is itself a type of clothing, and
stripping away exterior layers of fabric does not necessarily lead
to grasping the truth. In this way, the difference between being
clothed and being nude is diminished. The images that inspire the
authors to contemplate the nudity of being show many ways in which
one can and cannot be nude, and many ways of being in relation to
oneself and to others, clothed and unclothed.
