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.
This book introduces the fundamentals of physical layer security
(PLS) and demonstrates how a variety of PLS techniques can be
applied to improve the security of wireless communication systems.
In particular, this book covers three security aspects of wireless
communications. It includes secrecy, i.e., preventing eavesdroppers
from intercepting information from transmitted wireless signals,
covertness, i.e., hiding the transmitted signals themselves from
malicious wardens and authentication, i.e., authenticating the
identities of communicating entities. When discussing the
secrecy of wireless communication systems, this book covers
physical layer secure communication in multiple-input multiple-out
(MIMO) systems based on beamforming and precoding techniques, in
relay systems based on link/relay selection and in large-scale
random networks based on cooperative jamming. Regarding the
covertness of wireless communication systems, this book introduces
physical layer covert communication in relaying systems and MIMO
systems. Also, when discussing authentication in wireless
communication systems, this book introduces the implementation of
physical layer authentication in MIMO systems based on channel
features and/or radiometric features of transceivers. In addition,
this book presents security-aware routing in wireless
networks based on physical layer secure communication techniques.
This book targets researchers in the fields of physical layer
security and wireless communications security. Advanced-level
students in electronic engineering or computer science studying
these security topics will also want to purchase this book as a
secondary textbook.
Recognized as an essential component of Chinese culture,
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is both an ancient medical
system and one still used widely in China today. TCM's
independently evolved knowledge system is expressed mainly in the
Chinese language and the information is frequently only available
through ancient classics and confidential family records, making it
difficult to utilize. The major concern in TCM is how to
consolidate and integrate the data, enabling efficient retrieval
and discovery of novel knowledge from the dispersed data.
Computational approaches such as data mining, semantic reasoning
and computational intelligence have emerged as innovative
approaches for the reservation and utilization of this knowledge
system. Typically, this requires an inter-disciplinary approach
involving Chinese culture, computer science, modern healthcare and
life sciences. This book examines the computerization of TCM
information and knowledge to provide intelligent resources and
supporting evidences for clinical decision-making, drug discovery,
and education. Recent research results from the Traditional Chinese
Medicine Informatics Group of Zhejiang University are presented,
gathering in one resource systematic approaches for massive data
processing in TCM. These include the utilization of modern Semantic
Web and data mining methods for more advanced data integration,
data analysis and integrative knowledge discovery. This book will
appeal to medical professionals, life sciences students, computer
scientists, and those interested in integrative, complementary, and
alternative medicine.
