Plotting the Road Ahead for Wireless Sensor Networks
EU Information Society Technologies Public Release, 27 Mar 2006
Wireless sensor networks are a typical example of a network of 'cooperating objects', tiny embedded computers that cooperate together to produce an intended result. Such embedded systems, be they tiny processors in 'intelligent clothing' or the increasing numbers of computers in automobiles, are characterised by their need to interact with their immediate surroundings. However, it is only by cooperation with other objects that the full capabilities of such networks can be reached.
