Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distributed sensor network (DSN) presents a novel and highly complex computing platform with dif culties and opportunities that are just beginning to be explored. The potential of sensor networks extends from monitoring for threat reduction, to conducting instant and remote inventories, to ecological surveys. Developing and testing for robust and scalable applications is currently practiced almost exclusively in hardware. The Distributed Sensors Simulator (DSS) is an infrastructure that allows the user to debug and test software for DSNs independent of hardware constraints. The exibility of DSS allows developers and researchers to investigate topological, phenomenological, networking, robustness and scaling issues, to explore arbitrary algorithms for distributed sensors, and to defeat those algorithms through simulated failure. The user speci es the topology, the environment, the application, and any number of arbitrary failures; DSS provides the virtual environmental embedding.

Download or read book A Distributed Sensor Data Management Infrastructure Based on 802 15 4 ZigBee Networks written by Tianqiang Li and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless sensor networks consist of a certain number of autonomous devices with sensor, every device has certain detection functionality like light, temperature, pressure, etc. Communication by using the radio frequency make these spatially distributed devices feasible to oversee the activities in a large scale of area/space. 802.15.4/ZigBee networks are slated to run in the unlicensed frequencies. It is a packet-based radio protocol aimed at very low-cost, battery-operated widgets and sensors that can intercommunicate and send low-bandwidth data to each other. This thesis covers the content of a software solution of data management for an 802.15.4 networks. Its main contribution lies in it grounds a scalable and extendable infrastructure for current and future developments to depend on, enabling users to manage the distributed sensor data across the diversified and spacious ZigBee network. Some unique technologies are proposed according to the specific hardware embedded environment, such as cyclic queue, storage structure of RAM+Flash memory, Dynamic binary search etc. Some improvement solutions are also implemented in an attempt to fill the gaps in functionalities of ZigBee networks such as TCP/IP stacks built onto ZigBee protocols. Some advanced design ideas are also presented such as browserbased user interface, communication via standard protocol (HTTP); Some software implementations are accomplished for the first time without former references such as the immigrating the RTX51 tiny from standard 8051 CPU to ChipCon2430 CPU. The infrastructure that we proposed consists of the sensor data collecting subsystem, data storing subsystem, data query algorithm and subsystem, radio frequency intercommunication subsystem and browser based user accessing interface. Sensor data collection and storing system will periodically save the sampled value from sensor to the memory system and later to the permanent flash memory. Data query subsystem will provide an efficient approach to locate the data to be queried among large number of stored data. Radio frequency intercommunication subsystem is in charge of the radio frequency communication between devices, to delivery back and forth for the query request and response is the one of the major duties in this subsystem. The user accessing interface supports the users to submit query requests in the browser with the standard http link address in users' personal computer.

Download or read book Distributed Sensor Networks written by Victor Lesser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As computer networks (and computational grids) become increasingly complex, the problem of allocating resources within such networks, in a distributed fashion, will become more and more of a design and implementation concern. This is especially true where the allocation involves distributed collections of resources rather than just a single resource, where there are alternative patterns of resources with different levels of utility that can satisfy the desired allocation, and where this allocation process must be done in soft real-time. Distributed Sensor Networks is the first book of its kind to examine solutions to this problem using ideas taken from the field of multiagent systems. The field of multiagent systems has itself seen an exponential growth in the past decade, and has developed a variety of techniques for distributed resource allocation. Distributed Sensor Networks contains contributions from leading, international researchers describing a variety of approaches to this problem based on examples of implemented systems taken from a common distributed sensor network application; each approach is motivated, demonstrated and tested by way of a common challenge problem. The book focuses on both practical systems and their theoretical analysis, and is divided into three parts: the first part describes the common sensor network challenge problem; the second part explains the different technical approaches to the common challenge problem; and the third part provides results on the formal analysis of a number of approaches taken to address the challenge problem.

Download or read book Wireless Sensor Networks written by Cailian Chen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief evaluates the cooperative effort of sensor nodes to accomplish high-level tasks with sensing, data processing and communication. The metrics of network-wide convergence, unbiasedness, consistency and optimality are discussed through network topology, distributed estimation algorithms and consensus strategy. Systematic analysis reveals that proper deployment of sensor nodes and a small number of low-cost relays (without sensing function) can speed up the information fusion and thus improve the estimation capability of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This brief also investigates the spatial distribution of sensor nodes and basic scalable estimation algorithms, the consensus-based estimation capability for a class of relay assisted sensor networks with asymmetric communication topology, and the problem of filter design for mobile target tracking over WSNs. From the system perspective, the network topology is closely related to the capability and efficiency of network-wide scalable distributed estimation. Wireless Sensor Networks: Distributed Consensus Estimation is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals working in wireless communications, networks and distributed computing. Advanced-level students studying computer science and electrical engineering will also find the content helpful.

Download or read book Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data mining of massive data sets is transforming the way we think about crisis response, marketing, entertainment, cybersecurity and national intelligence. Collections of documents, images, videos, and networks are being thought of not merely as bit strings to be stored, indexed, and retrieved, but as potential sources of discovery and knowledge, requiring sophisticated analysis techniques that go far beyond classical indexing and keyword counting, aiming to find relational and semantic interpretations of the phenomena underlying the data. Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis examines the frontier of analyzing massive amounts of data, whether in a static database or streaming through a system. Data at that scale-terabytes and petabytes-is increasingly common in science (e.g., particle physics, remote sensing, genomics), Internet commerce, business analytics, national security, communications, and elsewhere. The tools that work to infer knowledge from data at smaller scales do not necessarily work, or work well, at such massive scale. New tools, skills, and approaches are necessary, and this report identifies many of them, plus promising research directions to explore. Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis discusses pitfalls in trying to infer knowledge from massive data, and it characterizes seven major classes of computation that are common in the analysis of massive data. Overall, this report illustrates the cross-disciplinary knowledge-from computer science, statistics, machine learning, and application disciplines-that must be brought to bear to make useful inferences from massive data.

Download or read book Service Science Design For Scaling And Transformation written by Cheng K Hsu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2009-02-17 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Service science is an emerging field, but many still consider it lacking in substance. This book aims to change the situation by addressing the following questions: What is the big story about service? What are the main research problems in service? What does “a connected world” mean? Does service require a different kind of design science? What will be the next waves of the Web? How to support universal value co-creation? How to unite Cyberspace wilt physical space? Is it feasible to connect information resources everywhere?To answer these questions, the book presents and substantiates a digital connections scaling (DCS) model, complete with a population-oriented design paradigm and a new class of microeconomic production functions to explain the paths of transformation into the future — one of the most original results today. Next, the book analyzes new business designs on the Web and characterizes a service-led revolution for the Knowledge Economy. Thirdly, it develops systems planning and design methods to help implement the DCS model at the level of Information and Database Systems, Business Strategy, and Digitization Engineering, thereby enhancing these fields. Finally, certain intriguing new applications, especially “smart highways” and information supply chains, are discussed.
