Call for Book Chapters
Wireless Sensor Networks: Current Status and Future Trends
*http://staff.iium.edu.my/sakib/WSN_CRC_Book/wsncrcbook.html

To be published by:
Auerbach Publications, Taylor & Francis Group, USA

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a network consisting of a large number of
sensor devices with processing and wireless transmission capability. WSN is
considered as a class of Ad hoc networks with the salient feature that it
could have a centralized entity for the entire network called base station
or sink. The sensors in the network sense different types of occurrences
(e.g., temperature, magnetism, sound, light) from the surrounding
environments and send the data to the base station. However, acquiring data
from the deployment area of sensors is not always easy and multiple issues
are to be considered in dealing with a WSN. The major issue is the limited
resources of the tiny sensor devices which are run with one-time batteries.
Even if rechargeable batteries are used, it is not always easy to replace
them once the sensors are deployed over a geographical area. Most of the
times, the application requires the network to be unattended, that means it
is free from human intervention. Other problems might come from external
environment; heat, rain, wind condition, etc. Routing, data aggregation,
ensuring Quality of Service (QoS), security, all these are various facets of
WSN research issues. Though many of the issues have been solved from various
points of views and for various types of application scenarios, many other
still remain as open research issues. This book will include the basic
information of wireless sensor networks, current trends in its research and
development, and future expectations in the relevant areas. The book could
be a valuable reference book for researchers, industry professionals,
academics. It could be used as a text book for graduate students as almost
all the concerned areas will be covered.
