Sensor networks, which consist of sensor nodes each capable of sensing environment and
transmitting data, have lots of applications in battlefield surveillance, environmental …

To account for stochastic properties when modeling connectivity in wireless mobile systems
such as cellular, ad hoc and sensor networks, spatial point processes are used. Since …

Network lifetime has become the key characteristic for evaluating sensor networks in an
application-specific way. Especially the availability of nodes, the sensor coverage, and the …

Abstract Properties of multidimensional Poisson point processes (PPPs) are discussed
using a constructive approach readily accessible to a broad audience. The processes are …

Sensing coverage is an essential functionality of wireless sensor networks (WSNs).
However, it is also well known that coverage alone in WSNs is not sufficient, and hence …

Unbalanced energy consumption is an inherent problem in wireless sensor networks
characterized by multihop routing and many-to-one traffic pattern, and this uneven energy …

Wireless sensor networks constitute the platform of a broad range of applications related to
national security, surveillance, military, health care, and environmental monitoring. The …

This article addresses the coverage problem of non-convex environments by a mobile multi-
robot system characterized by omnidirectional 'field of view'sensing capabilities. The mobile …

Software-intensive systems become more and more important in our everyday lives. But
their increasing complexity makes it difficult to develop and maintain them. This chapter …

In a wireless sensor network (WSN), connectivity enables the sensors to communicate with
each other, while sensing coverage reflects the quality of surveillance. Although the majority …
