Abstract:

 This research talk will discuss the development trends of wireless
sensor networks (WSN) from industrial, multimedia, to pervasive
applications. Three separate projects will be explained as case studies,
representing each phase. Traditional WSNs tend to employ meter-reading
sensors for specialized scenarios -- an example is given on an underwater
WSN deployed to monitor costal erosion. Modern WSNs attempt to convey
multimedia information containing relatively large data volumes,
which will be illustrated via the use of a multi-hop image sensor
network. This drastically stretches the horizon of monitoring and
surveillance systems for WSN applications. Recent research focus also
includes a pervasive implementation of sensors along with the tremendous
success of contemporary smartphone usage and technologies. Smartphones
that function as sensors, computing nodes, and monitoring terminals will
play a key role in the future execution of WSNs.
