The Art of Wireless Sensor Networks ― Advanced Topics and Applications

During the last one and a half decades, wireless sensor networks have witnessed significant growth and tremendous development in both academia and industry.

“The Art of Wireless Sensor Networks: Volume 2 - Advanced Topics and Applications” focuses on the advanced topics and applications of wireless sensor networks. Our rationale is that the second volume has all application-specific and non-conventional sensor networks, emerging techniques and advanced topics that are not as mature as what is covered in the first volume. Thus, this second volume deals with three-dimensional, underground, underwater, body-mounted, and societal networks. All the book chapters in this volume include up-to-date research work spanning various topics, such as stochastic modeling, barrier and spatiotemporal coverage, tracking, estimation, counting, coverage and localization in three-dimensional sensor networks, topology control and routing in three-dimensional sensor networks, underground and underwater sensor networks, multimedia and body sensor networks, and social sensing. Most of these major topics can be covered in an advanced course on wireless sensor networks. This book will be an excellent source of information for graduate students majoring in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or any related discipline. Furthermore, computer scientists, researchers, and practitioners in both academia and industry will find this book useful and interesting.
