Preface

What This Book Is About

With the recent advances in wireless communication technologies, sensors and actuators and highly integrated microelectronics technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained worldwide attention by facilitating the monitoring and control of physical environments from remote locations, which can be difficult or dangerous to reach. WSNs represent a significant improvement over wired sensor networks with the elimination of the hardwired communication cables and associated installation and maintenance costs. The possible uses of WSNs for real-time information in all aspects of engineering systems are virtually endless, from intelligent building control to health care systems, environmental control systems, ...
