Product Description

This first-of-its-kind resource offers you an in-depth understanding of wireless sensor networks from a systems perspective. The book describes and categorizes the technological trends, leading applications, state-of-the-art platform developments, future trends, and challenges of sensor networks. You find critical coverage of network protocols and mechanisms for node localization, time synchronization, media access control, topology creation and management, routing, transport, storage, security and fault tolerance, energy conservation and harvesting, and node deployment in large-scale sensor networks.

What’s more, this practical reference addresses middleware issues for sensor network applications and focuses on important application domains, showing you how specific applications influence the architectural design of networked systems. Contributions from leading international researchers and nearly 70 illustrations support key topics throughout the book.

Amazon wonders
This is a great book. But the Table of contents shown on amazon when you look inside the book seems to be incorrect. I own the book, same edition and same isbn. All the chapters are different:

Ch1: Introduction to wireless sensor networks
Ch2: Potential Field Methods for Mobile Sensor Network Deployment
...
and so on

I dont know what is going on here but seems the table of contents got mixed up- from some book on machine intelligence for automobiles.

I recommend the book and I recommend buying from Amazon too, but don't look at the table of contents shown on Amazon for this book. One way to get the correct TOC is to visit the publishers website (artechhouse) and search for this title.
