Decision tree classifiers perform a greedy search for rules by heuristically selecting the most
promising features. Such greedy (local) search may discard important rules. Associative …

During the past few years there has been an dramatic upsurge in research and
development, implementations of new technologies, and deployments of actual solutions …

When performing wireless network simulations, the lack of precise channel modeling in
simulator frameworks becomes a serious problem. Often deterministic models are used for …

This paper proposes a new sensornet protocol design goal: visibility. Visibility into behaviors
at the network level will simplify debugging and ease the development process. We argue …

Network protocols are typically designed and tested individually. In practice, however,
applications use multiple protocols concurrently. This discrepancy can lead to failures from …

Radio transceivers for wireless sensor networks are typically cheap devices offering low
bandwidth communication only. When physical events in the real world trigger spontaneous …

Most routing protocols proposed for wireless sensor networks are based on the standard
approach also used in many other types of networks, eg MANETS, even though the …

In various sensor network scenarios, data of low entropy is measured and transported
towards a data-sink. For example, sensor networks monitor temperature, air pressure, or …

We argue that the principal cause of sensornet deployment and development difficulty is an
inability to observe a network's internal operation. We further argue that this lack of visibility …

Wireless sensor networks for outdoor applications, such as habitat monitoring, are expected
to require wireless link ranges that are longer than achievable with commonly available …
