Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Environments: Enabling Digitalization from Fundamentals to Advanced Solutions (eng)

Understand the fundamental building blocks of the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things is the term for an ever-growing body of physical devices, vehicles, rooms, and other objects that can collect and exchange data using embedded capacities for network connectivity. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) represent the ‘sensing arm’ of this network of objects, providing the mechanism for collecting and transmitting data from these objects. Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Environments offers a timely and comprehensive overview of these networks and their broader impacts. Adopting both methodology- and application-oriented perspectives, the book covers both the foundational principles of WSNs and the most recent technological developments.

Readers will also find:

• Concrete real-world examples of recent applications
• Detailed discussion of WSNs from the perspectives of signal processing, data communication, and security
• Coverage of inference, learning, control, and decision-making processes

Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Environments is ideal for researchers and graduate students working in signal processing, communications, and machine learning.
