From the reviews:“Sensor networks are more complex than ordinary networks because they are numerous, energy constrained, and mostly wireless. Therefore, studies on sensor networks span various disciplines. This book covers a lot of ground in sensor network research. … It consists of 27 self-contained papers, each of which is dedicated to a special topic in sensor networks. Readers with various interests can grab what they want from this book. … Overall, the book is well edited.” (R. S. Chang, ACM Computing Reviews, July, 2011)
