Mobile sensors are an attractive proposition for environmental sensing, but pose significant engineering problems. Not least amongst these is the need to match the behaviour of the sensor platform to the physical environment ...
Sensor network MAC protocols typically sacrifice packet latency to achieve energy efficiency. Such delays may well increase due to routing protocol operation. For this reason it is imperative that we attempt to quantify ...
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 ...
Multi-agent systems (MAS) through their intrinsically distributed nature offer a promising software modelling and implementation framework for wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. WSNs are characterised by limited ...
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 ...
Classic computing systems are characterised by heterogeneity, with its inherent advantages and disadvantages. This
raises a number of difficulties for software engineers. The vision offered by a mix-and-match approach is ...
In professional tennis training matches, the coach needs to be able to view play from the most appropriate angle
in order to monitor players activities. In this paper, we present a system which can adapt the operation of ...
In modern energy aware buildings, lighting control systems are put in place so to maximise the energy-efficiency of
the lighting system without effecting the comfort of the occupant.
In many cases this involves utilising ...
