During the last one and a half decades, wireless sensor networks have
witnessed significant growth and tremendous development in both
academia and industry. A large number of researchers, including
computer scientists and engineers, have been interested in solving
challenging problems that span all the layers of the protocol stack of
sensor networking systems. Several venues, such as journals,
conferences, and workshops, have been launched to cover innovative
research and practice in this promising and rapidly advancing field.
Because of these trends, I thought it would be beneficial to provide
our sensor networks community with a comprehensive reference on as
much of the findings as possible on a variety of topics in wireless
sensor networks. As this area of research is in continuous progress,
it does not seem to be a reasonable solution to keep delaying the
publication of such reference any more. This book relates to the
second volume and focuses on the advanced topics and applications of
wireless sensor networks. Our rationale is that the second volume has
all application-specific and non-conventional sensor networks,
emerging techniques and advanced topics that are not as matured as
what is covered in the first volume. Thus, the second volume deals
with three-dimensional, underground, underwater, body-mounted, and
societal networks. Following Donald E. Knuth’s above-quoted elegant
strategy to focus on several important fields (The Art of Computer
Programming: Fundamental Algorithms, 1997), all the book chapters in
this volume include up-to-date research work spanning various topics,
such as stochastic modeling, barrier and spatiotemporal coverage,
tracking, estimation, counting, coverage and localization in
three-dimensional sensor networks, topology control and routing in
three-dimensional sensor networks, underground andunderwater sensor
networks, multimedia and body sensor networks, and social sensing.
Most of these major topics can be covered in an advanced course on
wireless sensor networks. This book will be an excellent source of
information for graduate students majoring in computer science,
computer engineering, electrical engineering, or any related
discipline. Furthermore, computer scientists, researchers, and
practitioners in both academia and industry will find this book useful
and interesting.
