Beyond SensorWebs: closing the loop in network embedded systems

Most wireless sensor network (WSN) proposals are unrelated to multimedia and other smart home infrastructures. This paper combines these issues and presents a solution where the Kilavi sensor network platform can be used as middleware to provide ...

The real-world implementation of a just theoretically elaborated idea is sometimes cumbersome, often a couple of obstacles have to be overcome. That's likewise in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), but complicated by some further restrictions, ...

Wireless sensor networks offer the potential to span and monitor large geographical areas inexpensively. Sensors, however, have significant power constraint (battery life), making communication very expensive. Another important issue in the context of ...
