New Eyes on the World: Advanced Sensors for Ecology
Innovative uses of advanced sensors and sensor networks are starting to be translated into new ecological knowledge. These sensors are providing a new set of “eyes” through which researchers may observe the world in new ways, extend spatial and temporal

Lots of Teamwork in Trentino-Alto Adige
The D3S group has developed a WSN-based system to monitor the structural health of a medieval tower of Torre Aquila in Trento, Italy, part of the Castello del Buonconsiglio complex, which hosts world-renowned frescoes from the 13th century. The system

Experiments with a Solar-powered Sun SPOT
Many WSN deployments require the devices to run for long periods (months) using a combination of duty cycling and renewable energy sources (e.g., solar panels). This technical report is the first comprehensive study of end-to-end data collection from a solar-powered

Paper: Censor Networks, A Critique of “Sensor Networks” from a Systems Perspective
In this paper Bhaskaran Raman and Kameswari Chebrolu from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, present a critique of the field of WSN. They say that literature in this domain falls into two main, distinct categories: (1) algorithms or protocols, and

A drilldown on Micro-Solar Energy Harvesting
Today’s typical sensor nodes run on batteries, thus have a limited lifetime. Solar energy harvesting is an interesting complement or alternative. There are several systems built with unique set of requirements. However, not much has been done to formalize application
