Advanced Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring Applications

It is impossible to imagine the modern world without sensors, or without real-time information about almost everything—from local temperature to material composition and health parameters. We sense, measure, and process data and act accordingly all the time. In fact, real-time monitoring and information is key to a successful business, an assistant in life-saving decisions that healthcare professionals make, and a tool in research that could revolutionize the future. To ensure that sensors address the rapidly developing needs of various areas of our lives and activities, scientists, researchers, manufacturers, and end-users have established an efficient dialogue so that the newest technological achievements in all aspects of real-time sensing can be implemented for the benefit of the wider community. This book documents some of the results of such a dialogue and reports on advances in sensors and sensor systems for existing and emerging real-time monitoring applications

A Localized Backbone Renovating Algorithm for Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

Abstract-In this paper we propose and analyze a localized backbone renovating algorithm (LBR) to renovate a broken backbone in the network. This research is motivated by the problem of virtual backbone maintenance in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, where the coverage area of nodes are disks with identical radii. According to our theoretical analysis, the proposed algorithm has the ability to renovate the backbone in a purely localized manner with a guaranteed connectivity of the network, while keeping the backbone size within a constant factor from that of the minimum CDS. Both the communication overhead and computation overhead of the LBR algorithm are O(k), where k is the number of nodes broken or added. We also conduct extensive simulation study on connectivity, backbone size, and the communicaiton/computation overhead. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can always keep the renovated backbone being connected at low communication/computation overhead with a relatively small backbone, compared with other existing schemes. Furthermore, the LBR algorithm has the ability to deal with arbitrary number of node failures and additions in the network
