As the field of communications networks continues to evolve, an interesting and challenging area --wireless sensor networks-- is rapidly coming of age. Recent advances have made it possible to make these components, also known as Smart Dust, small, powerful, and energy efficient, and they can now be manufactured cost-effectively. The Handbook of Sensor Networks: Compact Wireless and Wired Sensing captures the current state of sensor networks and serves as a source of comprehensive reference material on sensor networks. Divided into nine parts, each part has four to five articles written by experts in the field. The areas covered range from basic concepts to research grade material, including future directions.
