In this book, the authors describe the fundamental concepts and
practical aspects of wireless sensor networks. The book provides a
comprehensive view to this rapidly evolving field, including its
many novel applications, ranging from protecting civil
infrastructure to pervasive health monitoring. Using detailed
examples and illustrations, this book provides an inside track on
the current state of the technology. The book is divided into three
parts. In Part I, several node architectures, applications and
operating systems are discussed. In Part II, the basic
architectural frameworks, including the key building blocks
required for constructing large-scale, energy-efficient sensor
networks are presented. In Part III, the challenges and approaches
pertaining to local and global management strategies are presented
- this includes topics on power management, sensor node
localization, time synchronization, and security. At the end of
each chapter, the authors provide practical exercises to help
students strengthen their grip on the subject. There are more than
200 exercises altogether.



Key Features:

* Offers a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical and
practical concepts pertaining to wireless sensor networks

* Explains the constraints and challenges of wireless sensor
network design; and discusses the most promising solutions

* Provides an in-depth treatment of the most critical
technologies for sensor network communications, power management,
security, and programming

* Reviews the latest research results in sensor network design,
and demonstrates how the individual components fit together to
build complex sensing systems for a variety of application
scenarios

* Includes an accompanying website containing solutions to
exercises (href="http://www.wiley.com/go/dargie_fundamentals">http://www.wiley.com/go/dargie_fundamentals)

This book serves as an introductory text to the field of
wireless sensor networks at both graduate and advanced
undergraduate level, but it will also appeal to researchers and
practitioners wishing to learn about sensor network technologies
and their application areas, including environmental monitoring,
protection of civil infrastructure, health care, precision
agriculture, traffic control, and homeland security.

Professor Dargie completed his BSc in Electrical and Electronics Technology at Nazareth Technical College, Ethiopia, and obtained an MSc in Electrical Engineering at Kaiserslautern University of Technology, Germany. He completed his PhD in Computer Engineering at Dresden University of Technology, Germany, where he works today as a Researcher for the Faculty of Computer Science.
