Although there are many books available on WSNs, most are low-level, introductory books. The few available for advanced readers fail to convey the breadth of knowledge required for those aiming to develop next-generation solutions for WSNs.
Filling this void, Wireless Sensor Networks: From Theory to Applications supplies comprehensive coverage of WSNs. In order to provide the wide-ranging guidance required, the book brings together the contributions of domain experts working in the various subfields of WSNs worldwide.
This edited volume examines recent advances in WSN technologies and considers the theoretical problems in WSN, including issues with monitoring, routing, and power control. It also details methodologies that can provide solutions to these problems. The book?s 25 chapters are divided into seven parts:
- Data Collection
- Physical Layer and Interfacing
- Routing and Transport Protocols
- Energy-Saving Approaches
- Mobile and Multimedia WSN
- Data Storage and Monitoring
- Applications
The book examines applications of WSN across a range of fields, including health, military, transportation, and mining. Addressing the main challenges in applying WSNs across all phases of our life, it explains how WSNs can assist in community development.
Complete with a list of references at the end of each chapter, this book is ideal for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, scholars, academics, industrial researchers, and practicing engineers working on WSNs. The text assumes that readers possess a foundation in computer networks, wireless communication, and basic electronics.
Data Collection. Physical Layer and Interfacing. Routing and Transport Protocols. Energy Saving Approaches. Mobile and Multimedia WSN. Data Storage and Monitoring. Applications.
About the Editors:
Ibrahim M. M. El Emary received his doctor of engineering degree in 1998 from the Electronic and Communication Department, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Egypt. From 1998 to 2002, he was an assistant professor of computer sciences in different faculties and academic institutions in Egypt. From 2002 to 2010, he worked as visiting assistant and associate professor of computer science and engineering in two universities in Jordan. Currently, he is a professor of computer science and engineering at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. His research interests cover various analytic and discrete event simulation techniques, performance evaluation of communication networks, application of intelligent techniques in managing computer communication networks, and performing comparative studies between various policies and strategies of routing congestion control subnetting of computer communication networks. He has published more than 150 articles in various refereed international journals and conferences covering computer networks, artificial intelligent expert systems, software agents, information retrieval, E-learning, case-based reasoning, image processing, and pattern recognition wireless sensor networks, cloud computing, and robotic engineering. Also, he has participated in publishing seven book chapters in three international books (published by Springer Verlag, IGI Publisher, and NOVA Science Publisher) as well as Editor of two books from international publishers (LAP Lampert-Germany). He has been included in Marquis Who’s Who in the world 2013 edition.
