Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) use the unlicensed industrial, scientific, and medical
(ISM) band for transmissions. However, with the increasing usage and demand of these …

Advances in hardware and wireless network technologies have created low-cost, low-
power, multifunctional miniature sensor devices. These devices make up hundreds or …

An event-triggered mechanism is of great efficiency in reducing unnecessary sensor
samplings/transmissions and, thus, resource consumption such as sensor power and …

Automatically describing an image with a sentence is a long-standing challenge in computer
vision and natural language processing. Due to recent progress in object detection, attribute …

Water is essential for human survival. Although approximately 71% of the world is covered in
water, only 2.5% of this is fresh water; hence, fresh water is a valuable resource that must be …

The Internet of Things (IoT) will feature pervasive sensing and control capabilities via a
massive deployment of machine-type communication (MTC) devices. The limited hardware …

Location awareness is vital for emerging Internet-of-Things applications and opens a new
era for Localization-of-Things. This paper first reviews the classical localization techniques …

This paper describes the concept of sensor networks which has been made viable by the
convergence of micro-electro-mechanical systems technology, wireless communications …

We consider the problem of distributed estimation, where a set of nodes is required to
collectively estimate some parameter of interest from noisy measurements. The problem is …

Topology control in a sensor network balances load on sensor nodes and increases network
scalability and lifetime. Clustering sensor nodes is an effective topology control approach …
