Short description Self-organization in Sensor and Actor Networks describes and discusses mechanisms and methodologies concerning the efficient coordination of intercommunicating autonomous systems, with specific emphasis on technologies for wireless sensor networks. The author surveys research issues and analyze them based on different aspects. The book focuses on current research in the areas of autonomous systems, sensor networks, and bio-inspired communication methodologies.
