Distributed Sensor Networks: Two Volume Set / Edition 2

by S. Sitharama Iyengar, Richard R. Brooks

Overview

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.

Now split into two volumes, this second edition has been revised and expanded with over 500 additional pages and more than 300 new illustrations. This edition incorporates contributions from many veterans of the DARPA ISO SENSIT program as well as new material from distinguished researchers in the field. It offers 13 fully revised chapters and 22 new chapters, covering new perspectives on information fusion, the latest technical developments, and current sensor network applications.

Editorial Reviews

This excellent book on DSNs has a wealth of information for researchers, engineers, and scientists. It could be used as a textbook for graduate-level and doctoral courses on DSNs, and would also serve as a reference for engineers, scientists, and researchers working in this field.
—Computing Reviews, April 2013

Praise for the First Edition:
This book presents very wide coverage of all the aspects concerned with designing and developing DSNs. Each section or chapter can be read separately because it is a brief tutorial on a given topic. In conclusion, it gives me pleasure to recommend this book to prospective readers for its relevance, excellent presentation, and comprehensive coverage.
