Efficient Coverage Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks

Overview One of the biggest disadvantages of large scale wireless sensor networks lies on the complexity of logistics involving selective replacement of sensors that have ran out of energy. Fortunately, efficient power management schemes provide some relief as they are designed to extend network's lifetime and thus reduce the need of external intervention. In this paper, three centralized and one distributed efficient coverage algorithms are proposed to obtain an improved monitoring quality over time.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Forget 'think different' - think 'non-linear'...

Almost all resource and logistics problems are inherently non-linear. The energy output varies in direct proportion to the energy input given the losses due to frictional heating and noise. When all were linked together to constitute the whole...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Mobile guesses

Interestingly we have passed this way before on a macro-scale with geostationary satellites orbiting at 36,000km to give coverage of continents and countries and, more recently, low earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems at 2500km able to focus on a...

US wants RFID tracking tag investigation

Consumer advocates fear the push toward RFID will lead to a world in which everyday objects, such as razors and socks, are "tagged" with tiny sensors that can wirelessly communicate with computer networks.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: A sea of bits

Then of course we have the sensor networks built into our transport, utility supply, infrastructure, climate monitoring and other systems. You may think this ought to be enough for most individuals and businesses but when you imagine movies may...

Warnings "ignored" as gov't IT project cost doubles

The RPA said this was the result of the growing complexity of the payments scheme, the high volume of applications for funds and the fact that some of the schemes were abolished after Accenture had started work on the systems to support them.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: RFID - what can it do for the business?

More sophisticated solutions may require environmental or component monitoring with sensors for heat, sound, stress etc, and others may require awareness or detection of periodic events, such as opening or closing of doors or gates.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.

IBM Information Server Change Data Capture

In today's fast-paced world, access to real-time data has never been more important. To be successful, organizations need to be able to report and analyze corporate data quickly and easily, regardless of what applications created the data, what platform they're running on, or what database they're stored in.
