Distributed Sensor Networks introduces readers to a remarkable new way to collect and process data. Distributed sensor networks are fascinating because they comprise systems like "Smart Dust" which gather large amounts of data from multiple locations using millimeter scale sensing/communication devices. These devices can monitor an environment for data such as temperature, pressure, humidity, light, sound, acceleration and magnetic fields, then process and communicate the data. The technology is so new that information has been available only in scattered articles. This book collects that information, from its theoretical background to cutting-edge applications, into a single, authoritative source.
