<p>It is a general trend in computing that computers are becoming ever smaller and more interconnected, and sensor networks - large networks of small, simple devices - represent a logical extreme of this trend. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are attracting an increasing degree of research interest, with a growing number of industrial applications starting to emerge. Two of these applications, personal health monitoring and emergency/disaster recovery, are the focus of the <em>European Commission project ProSense: Promote, Mobilize, Reinforce and Integrate Wireless Sensor Networking Research and Researchers</em>.</p> <p>This hands-on, useful introduction to WSN systems development presents broad coverage of topics in the field, contributed by researchers involved in the <em>ProSense</em> project. It emphasises the practical knowledge required for the successful implementation of WSNs. The first part of the work covers basic issues of sensors, software, and position-based routing protocols. Part Two focuses on multidisciplinary issues, including sensor network integration, mobility aspects, geo-routing, medical applications, and vehicular sensor networks. The remaining two parts present case studies and further applications.</p> <p><strong>Topics and features:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Begins with a Foreword by the Nobel Laurate Professor Martin Perl, of Stanford University </li> <li>Presents a broad overview of WSN technology, including an introduction to sensor and sensing technologies </li> <li>Investigates real-world applications of WSN systems in medical and vehicular sensor networks </li> <li>Contains an extensive section on case studies, providing details of the development of a number of WSN applications </li> <li>Discusses frameworks for WSN systems integration, through which WSN technology will become fundamental to the Future Internet concept </li> </ul> <p>Providing holistic coverage of WSN technology, this text/reference will help graduate students of computer science, electrical engineering and telecommunications toward mastering the specific domains of this emerging area. The book will also be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners interested in entering or exploring the field.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Liljana Gavrilovska </strong>is a professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies of the Ss.

<p>It is a general trend in computing that computers are becoming ever smaller and more interconnected, and sensor networks - large networks of small, simple devices - represent a logical extreme of this trend. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are attracting an increasing degree of research interest, with a growing number of industrial applications starting to emerge. Two of these applications, personal health monitoring and emergency/disaster recovery, are the focus of the <em>European Commission project ProSense: Promote, Mobilize, Reinforce and Integrate Wireless Sensor Networking Research and Researchers</em>.</p> <p>This hands-on, useful introduction to WSN systems development presents broad coverage of topics in the field, contributed by researchers involved in the <em>ProSense</em> project. It emphasises the practical knowledge required for the successful implementation of WSNs. The first part of the work covers basic issues of sensors, software, and position-based routing protocols. Part Two focuses on multidisciplinary issues, including sensor network integration, mobility aspects, geo-routing, medical applications, and vehicular sensor networks. The remaining two parts present case studies and further applications.</p> <p><strong>Topics and features:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Begins with a Foreword by the Nobel Laurate Professor Martin Perl, of Stanford University </li> <li>Presents a broad overview of WSN technology, including an introduction to sensor and sensing technologies </li> <li>Investigates real-world applications of WSN systems in medical and vehicular sensor networks </li> <li>Contains an extensive section on case studies, providing details of the development of a number of WSN applications </li> <li>Discusses frameworks for WSN systems integration, through which WSN technology will become fundamental to the Future Internet concept </li> </ul> <p>Providing holistic coverage of WSN technology, this text/reference will help graduate students of computer science, electrical engineering and telecommunications toward mastering the specific domains of this emerging area. The book will also be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners interested in entering or exploring the field.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Liljana Gavrilovska </strong>is a professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies of the Ss.

Cloud computing platforms can allow organizations to become more efficient and more responsive to users of both internal and external systems, yet a clear understanding is needed in order to separate the facts from the hype behind this new and rapidly expanding area. This Guide to Cloud Computing describes the landscape of cloud computing from first principles, leading the reader step-by-step through the process of building and configuring a cloud environment. The book not only considers the technologies for designing and creating cloud computing platforms, but also the business models and frameworks in real-world implementation of cloud platforms. Emphasis is placed on “learning by doing,” and readers are encouraged to experiment with a range of different tools and approaches. Topics and features: Includes review questions, hands-on exercises, study activities and discussion topics throughout the text Describes the key technologies involved in cloud computing Explores the use of cloud computing in business environments Demonstrates the approaches used to build cloud computing infrastructures Reviews the social, economic, and political aspects of the on-going growth in cloud computing use Discusses legal and security concerns in cloud computing Examines techniques for the appraisal of financial investment into cloud computing Identifies areas for further research within this rapidly-moving field This easy-to-follow and highly practical textbook/guide is an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of software engineering, computer networking and related courses. The extensive worked examples will also appeal greatly to researchers, IT infrastructure technicians and application developers.

General Notes:
Introduction -- Industrial Control Systems: Concepts, Components and Architectures -- Distributed Control System Operations -- Industrial Protocols and Planning Considerations -- Scheduling of Wireless Sensor Networks -- Latency Modeling for Distributed Control Systems with Wired and Wireless Sensors -- Planning for Distributed Control Systems with Wired and Wireless Sensors -- Performance and Debugging -- Application Scenario: An Industrial Case Study -- Network Configuration: Example -- Network Layout: Example -- Evaluation of Planning and Monitoring Approaches: Details.
Modern industrial systems are often highly automated, with hundreds or even thousands of sensors and actuators monitoring the various processes, overseen by a distributed control system (DCS). Such control systems increasingly make use of wireless communications, yet these must still satisfy all safety-critical requirements. This unique text introduces the components, operations, industry protocols and standards of DCS, and shows how to include wireless technology in their design while guaranteeing the desired operation characteristics.

Modern industrial systems are often highly automated, with hundreds or even thousands of sensors and actuators monitoring the various processes, overseen by a distributed control system (DCS). Such control systems increasingly make use of wireless communications, yet these must still satisfy all safety-critical requirements. This unique text introduces the components, operations, industry protocols and standards of DCS, and shows how to include wireless technology in their design while guaranteeing the desired operation characteristics. The book not only discusses the theory, but also presents insights and results gained from extensive practical experience in implementing and testing systems within a specific industrial setting. Topics and features: Reviews the concepts, components and architectures supporting DCS Examines the operations that the DCS implements, covering human-machine interfaces, diagnostics and maintenance interfaces, and controllers Discusses industrial control system and wireless network protocols Reviews scheduling in wireless sensor networks Describes a latency model for heterogeneous DCS with wired and wireless parts, that predicts monitoring latencies, command latencies and closed loop latencies Explains how to plan operation timings systematically Introduces measures and metrics for performance monitoring and debugging, and describes how to add performance monitoring and debugging to a system Presents experimental results to validate the planning approach, based on an application test-bed This practical guide for real-world implementation will be of considerable interest to a wide audience, from professional engineers to researchers and students.

This unique text/reference presents a thorough examination of the middleware that can be used on top of the operating system to configure and operate heterogeneous node platforms and whole sensor networks. The book opens with a review of the application scenarios where networked control systems with wireless sensors may be used, before comparing and analysing the middleware requirements for this set of scenarios. The text then defines middleware architecture for configuration and operation, describing how the proposed mechanisms were integrated in an approach demonstrated live in an oil and gas refinery. The testing and evaluation of this implementation with different hardware and software platforms is also reported. Topics and features: Presents a thorough introduction to the major concepts behind wireless sensor networks Reviews the various application scenarios and existing middleware solutions for wireless sensor networks Discusses the middleware mechanisms necessary for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks Provides a detailed examination of platform-agnostic middleware architecture, including important implementation details for each part of the architecture Investigates the programming paradigms for wireless sensor networks, and for heterogeneous sensor networks in general Describes the results of extensive experimentation and testing, demonstrating that the generic architecture is viable for implementation on multiple platforms Providing helpful insights for students and researchers alike, this book is ideally suitable for use as a reference in both introductory and advanced courses on embedded devices. Practitioners seeking to learn more about how these systems work will also benefit from the in-depth coverage.
