Infrastructure for Homeland Security Environments
Wireless Sensor Networks helps readers discover the emerging fieldof low-cost standards-based sensors that promise a high order ofspatial and temporal resolution and accuracy in an ever-increasinguniverse of applications. It shares the latest advances in scienceand engineering paving the way towards a large plethora of newapplications in such areas as infrastructure protection andsecurity, healthcare, energy, food safety, RFID, ZigBee, andprocessing.
Unlike other books on wireless sensor networks that focus onlimited topics in the field, this book is a broad introduction thatcovers all the major technology, standards, and application topics.It contains everything readers need to know to enter thisburgeoning field, including current applications and promisingresearch and development; communication and networking protocols;middleware architecture for wireless sensor networks; and securityand management.
The straightforward and engaging writing style of this book makeseven complex concepts and processes easy to follow and understand.In addition, it offers several features that help readers grasp thematerial and then apply their knowledge in designing their ownwireless sensor network systems:
* Examples illustrate how concepts are applied to the development andapplication of
* wireless sensor networks
* Detailed case studies set forth all the steps of design andimplementation needed to solve real-world problems
* Chapter conclusions that serve as an excellent review by stressingthe chapter's key concepts
* References in each chapter guide readers to in-depth discussions ofindividual topics
This book is ideal for networking designers and engineers who wantto fully exploit this new technology and for government employeeswho are concerned about homeland security. With its examples, it isappropriate for use as a coursebook for upper-level undergraduatesand graduate students.
