We provide an overview of recent work on distributed and agile sensing algorithms and their
implementation. Modern sensor systems with embedded processing can allow for …

Continuous monitoring of mechanical impacts is one of the goals of modern SHM systems
using a sensor network installed on a structure. For the evaluation of the impact position …

Advances in sensors technology provided an opportunity to monitor structures during
different construction stages, as well as the behavior of concrete elements during hydration …

Recent advances in energy harvesting technologies have led to the development of self-
powered structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques that are power-efficient. Energy …

Volcano tomography provides valuable information concerning the internal structure of a
volcano. During times of increased volcano activities, real-time images of the interior would …

Wireless sensor networks are characterized by centralized data gathering, multi-hop
communication and many-to-one traffic pattern. These three characteristics may give rise to …

Natural hazards could be very destructive. One challenge that society faces is how to
rapidly, accurately and economically evaluate the damage of structures in the aftermath of a …

The work deals with the main findings obtained during the development of a permanent
structural health monitoring system for a monumental church, the Basilica S. Maria di …

Rate control for congestion mitigation and avoidance has received significant attention in the
sensor networks literature. Existing rate control schemes dynamically assign rates in a …

Quality of Service (QoS) control is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks. In
this paper we propose a new QoS control algorithm, referred to as Gureen Game, for …
