Embedded Sensor Systems

Abstract

SNs and WSNs are being used for numerous civilian and defense areas and numerous applications have been covered in Chap. 2. In most of these presentations, few SNs have been deployed to show usefulness in different areas and very few projects deal with a large number of SNs for continuing monitoring over few months.
