Infrastructure for Homeland Security Environments

Wireless Sensor Networks helps readers discover the emerging field of low-cost standards-based sensors that promise a high order of spatial and temporal resolution and accuracy in an ever-increasing universe of applications. It shares the latest advances in science and engineering paving the way towards a large plethora of new applications in such areas as infrastructure protection and security, healthcare, energy, food safety, RFID, ZigBee, and processing.

Unlike other books on wireless sensor networks that focus on...

Higher transmission speeds, larger traffic volumes and the unpredictable characteristics of new applications, coupled with new end-user functions and features and variability of bandwidth, demand new networking methods, technologies and algorithms.
These new directions are explored in Control and Performance in Packet, Circuit, and ATM Networks, which includes discussions of static flow, fluid flow, dynamic flow, learning automata, neural networks, fuzzy logic and much more. These techniques are used in performance evaluation, control and optimization of communications...
