"The six years since the first edition appeared has seen the field of sensor networks ripen. The number of researchers working in the field and the number of technical (journal and conference) publications related to sensor networks have exploded. Those of us working in the field since its infancy have been gratified by the large number of practical sensor network applications that are being used. Not surprisingly, a number of lessons have been learned. The current state of affairs could hardly have beenpredicted when the first edition went to press. Partly because of this, we were extremely gratified when Chapman & Hall contacted us and suggested printing a revised second edition of Distributed Sensor Networks"--
The best-selling Distributed Sensor Networks became the definitive guide to understanding this far-reaching technology. Preserving the excellence and accessibility of its predecessor, Distributed Sensor Networks, Second Edition once again provides all the fundamentals and applications in one complete, self-contained source. Ideal as a tutorial for students or as research material for engineers, the book gives readers up-to-date, practical insight on all aspects of the field.
Revised and expanded, this second edition incorporates contributions from many veterans of the DARPA ISO SENSIT program as well as new material from distinguished researchers in the field. Image and Sensor Signal Processing focuses on software issues and the history and future of sensor networks. The book also covers information fusion and power management.
Readers of this book may also be interested in Distributed Sensor Networks, Second Edition: Sensor Networking and Applications (ISBN: 9781439862872).
