Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a special class of ad hoc
network in which network nodes composed of tiny sensors pass data
such as temperature, pressure, and humidity through the network to
a central location. Wireless sensor multimedia networks (WSMNs) are
a special category of WSNs in which the sensor nodes are small
cameras and microphones that can send voice, image, or video data
through the network. This book presents the latest advances and
research in WSMN architecture, algorithms, and protocols. WSMNs are
attracting great attention from academia and industry due to the
variety of applications in which they can be deployed. Wireless
Sensor Multimedia Networks: Architectures, Protocols, and
Applications explores the many benefits of WSMNs and the variety of
applications in which they can be used-surveillance, traffic
monitoring, advanced healthcare (blood pressure and heart rate
monitoring), habitat monitoring, and localization services (finding
missing children or wanted criminals). The contributed chapters in
this book explore current research into key areas such as New
quality-of-service-aware routing protocols that support a high data
rate in WSMNs Cognitive radio capability that increases efficiency
of spectrum utilization and decreases the probability of collision
and contention Multimedia streaming optimization techniques New
security schemes for real-time video streaming Various ways of
optimizing power consumption in WSMNs Wireless Sensor Multimedia
Networks: Architectures, Protocols, and Applications discusses open
research issues and future trends in WSMNs. With this book,
academic researchers, engineers, and graduate students will be
well-equipped to advance the research in this emerging field.
Optical networks present a promising candidate for the next
generation ultra-high-speed networks due to its potential ability
to offer huge bandwidth at low costs. These networks should have
the ability to maintain service continuity to end-users in presence
of network failures. Therefore, survivability has become a critical
issue for the next generation optical networks. In this book, we
demonstrate the stat of the art survivability techniques used in
highly-survivable optical networks with focus on restoration
techniques as promising techniques in terms of capacity utilization
and blocking probability. Mohamed A. Azim distinctive approach,
explores a new survivability scheme employed in optical networks
namely, Active Restoration (AR). The AR scheme combines the
advantages of the proactive protection and reactive restoration
techniques while trying to avoid their shortcomings as verified by
extensive simulations and analytical models. The book presents a
step-by-step guide to survivability techniques and analytical
modeling that can help researchers to find relevant ideas and open
research problems on network survivability as well as developing
their analytical models.
