Applications of Wireless Sensor Networks

One of the few consolidated works that target comprehensive descriptions and analysis of full wireless sensor networks based applications that have already been deployed and used at a wide scale, this book presents architectures, design descriptions, challenges, and analyses of applications that have been implemented and deployed and in which wireless sensor networks play a pivotal role. Dispensing with theoretical discussions, it focuses on actual applications of wireless sensor networks in the medical, industrial manufacturing, agricultural, military, and home network fields. The authors discuss application, system architecture, technology, protocols, and use as well as shortcomings and potential improvement.
