sensor network
Chapter 1 is a general introduction. Chapter 2 presents the backbone of WSNs, the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol. The requirements for service-oriented sensor webs are presented in Chapter 3. Cross-layer design principles are described in Chapter 4. Grid computing has evolved as a standards-based approach for coordinated resource sharing. There are several issues and challenges in the design of sensor VIII Preface grids. Chapter 5 has been dedicated to the sensor grid architecture for distributed events classification. Chapters 6, 7, and 8 deal with topology controls, routing protocols, and energy aware routing fundamentals, respectively. Chapter 9 discusses the aspects of probabilistic queries and quality assurances. A statistical approachbased resilient aggregation is studied in Chapter 10. The communication performance study is presented in Chapter 11. A sensor network consists of a large number of nodes connected through a multi-hop wireless network. Data management is an issue discussed in Chapter 12. Localisation and location estimation are also two important design considerations. Chapters 13 and 14 introduce these. It has been variously proposed that the future of the monitoring and control will be based on sensor networks. A comprehensive description of an application driven design, ZigBee WSN and their applications, MANET versus WSN, etc. can be found in Chapters 15-17. There has been recent confusion on sensor network and industrial Distributed Control Systems (DCS). In fact, sensor networks and DCS are complementary to each other. As such, two chapters have been dedicated to introduce industrial sensor and actuator networks; (the fieldus) and the DCS simulation scenario. The book also contains three chapters regarding applications of WSNs. The application domains are pet management systems, agriculture monitoring, and intelligent CCTV. The last supplemental chapter reviews the modulation techniques and topology, an essential topic for novice researchers and readers
