One of the main design aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the deployment
strategy of the sensors. In general, WSN deployment methods fall under two categories …

The coverage problem, as a fundamental problem for almost all types of applications in
wireless sensor networks (WSNs), has been studied for over a decade. Because of its …

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are large-scale and high-density networks that typically
have coverage area overlap. In addition, a random deployment of sensor nodes cannot fully …

Security is crucial for industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSNs); therefore, in this article,
we simultaneously consider the security, lifetime, and coverage issues by deploying sensor …

The development of smart cities and the emergence of three-dimensional (3-D) urban terrain
data have introduced new requirements and issues to the research on the 3-D deployment …

Wireless sensor networks can be used to monitor targets continuously. This assumes sensor
nodes have energy neutral operation, whereby the energy consumed to monitor targets is …

In this paper, we consider the sensor-energy optimization in 3D Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs), which determines an optimal topology of sensors to prolong the network lifetime …

Flight testbeds with multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are especially important to
support research on multi-vehicle-related algorithms. The existing platforms usually lack a …

Efficient placement of cameras to perform surveillance tasks has a significant impact on the
