Networks of wireless sensor devices are being deployed to collectively monitor
and disseminate information about a variety of phenomena of interest. A
wireless sensor device is a battery-operated device, capable of sensing physical
quantities. In addition to sensing, it is capable of wireless communication,
data storage, and a limited amount of computation and signal processing.
