Wireless Sensor Networks: An Information Processing Approach (IE-Paperback)

Description:

Designing, implementing, and operating a wireless sensor network involves a wide range of disciplines and many application-specific constraints. To make sense of and take advantage of these systems, a holistic approach is needed—and this is precisely what Wireless Sensor Networks delivers.

Inside, two eminent researchers review the diverse technologies and techniques that interact in today’s wireless sensor networks. At every step, they are guided by the high-level information-processing tasks that determine how these networks are architected and administered. Zhao and Guibas begin with the canonical problem of localizing and tracking moving objects, then systematically examine the many fundamental sensor network issues that spring from it, including network discovery, service establishment, data routing and aggregation, query processing, programming models, and system organization. The understanding gained as a result—how different layers support the needs of different applications, and how a wireless sensor network should be built to optimize performance and economy—is sure to endure as individual component technologies come and go.

描述：
設計、實施和操作無線感測器網絡涉及各種學科和許多應用特定的限制。為了理解和利用這些系統，需要一種整體的方法，這正是《無線感測器網絡》所提供的。

在這本書中，兩位著名的研究人員回顧了當今無線感測器網絡中相互作用的各種技術和技巧。在每一步中，他們都受到高層信息處理任務的指導，這些任務決定了這些網絡的架構和管理方式。趙和Guibas從定位和跟踪移動物體的典型問題開始，然後系統地研究了由此引發的許多基本感測器網絡問題，包括網絡發現、服務建立、數據路由和聚合、查詢處理、編程模型和系統組織。由此獲得的理解——不同層次如何支持不同應用的需求，以及如何構建無線感測器網絡以優化性能和經濟效益——必將在個別組件技術的興衰中持續存在。
