This is the first book in this new area and it uniquely focuses on sensor networks in cyber-physical systems. It has been peer-reviewed by experts in the areas of sensor networks and cyber-physical systems. Furthermore, the book describes how wireless sensor networking technologies can help in establishing and maintaining seamless communications between the physical and cyber systems--acquiring data, pushing data from the physical system to the cyber system, and routing decisions to appliances.

Cyber-Physical System Design with Sensor Networking Technologies is essential...
