Rapid change and increasing software criticality drive successful development and
acquisition organizations to balance the agility and discipline of their key processes. The …

The combination of sensor and actor nodes in wireless sensor actor networks (WSANs) has
created new challenges notably in coordination. In this paper, we survey, categorize, and …

Ad-hoc aerial sensor networks leveraging MUAVs (Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are
ideally suited to cost-efficiently explore unknown or hostile environments for example in …

The effectiveness of wireless sensor networks (WSN) depends on the coverage and
connectivity provided by node deployment, which is one of the key topics in WSN. In this …

We consider sensor self-deployment problem, constructing FOCUSED coverage (F-
coverage) around a Point of Interest (POI), with novel evaluation metric, coverage radius. We …

In this paper, we address the problem of deploying heterogeneous mobile sensors over a
target area. Traditional approaches to mobile sensor deployment are specifically designed …

In the study of improving the efficiency of mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs), an
important issue is to maximize the sensor coverage in a given sensing field by proper …

How to effectively deploy all wireless sensors and save a system's energy consumption is a
key issue in current wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. Theoretical analysis has …

Critical homeland security applications, such as international border surveillance and zone
monitoring in case of biological attacks, require the timely creation of a barrier of sensors …

Electricity theft occurs around the world in both developed and developing countries and
may range up to 40% of the total electricity distributed. More generally, electricity theft …
