Short description
Part of the Wiley Series on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Handbook of Sensor Networks covers a wide range of recognized problems in sensor networks and provides a mixture of theory, experiments, and simulations. The book also serves as an appropriate and timely forum, where industry, operators, and academics from several different areas can learn more about the sensor networking current trends and become aware of architectures, advantages, and limits for future commercial, and social and educational applications. Each chapter is written by an expert for the particular topic.
