The number of active nodes in a WSN deployment
governs both the longevity of the network and the accuracy
of applications using the network’s data. As node
hibernation techniques become more sophistocated, it
is important ...
Conventional Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) usually adopt a centralised approach to data processing and interpretation primarily due to the limited computation and energy resources available on sensor nodes. These constraints ...
Given the potential scale on which a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can be deployed, multi-hop communication will
be a pivotal component of the system. When redundant nodes are deployed, which are hibernated opportunistically ...
This chapter reflects upon the challenges that confront the deployment of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) applications. Ambient Intelligence demands that everyday artefacts be imbued with intelligent reasoning capabilities ...
Many documented instances of existing research on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) use deployments that either fall short of, or barely meet, the resource requirements of the application. In this paper, it is envisaged that ...
Intelligent agents offer a viable paradigm for enabling
AmI applications and services. As WSN technologies
are anticipated to provide an indispensable component in
many application domains, the need for enabling the ...

Power management for WSNs can take many forms, from adaptively tuning the power consumption of some of the components of a node to hibernating it completely. In the later case, the competence of the WSN must not be ...
Within this paper, Sensorworld is proposed as a platform for the evaluation and comparison of resource-bounded intelligence, and its effectiveness is proven through the implementation of a series of simulations on ...
