This paper discusses a grid-type sensor network with reconfigurable PSoCs as sensor nodes, and details the middleware routines that support the high-level model for distributed programming. The advantages of using reconfigurable PSoCs over other architectures, like MICA2 motes, are also discussed. The paper refers to a case study to illustrate the capabilities of the proposed network concept.

Reservation-based and contention-based MAC protocols have their own advantages in data transmissions under mobile sensor networks. This paper presents a quantitative analysis of two types of MAC protocols in throughput, delay, and energy efficiency under various traffic loads environments using queueing theory. The analytical and simulation results show the design strategies of hybrid MAC protocols for mobile dynamic traffic scenarios.

In recent years, wireless sensor networks offer cost-effective solutions to various surveillance and tracking applications with the developments in sensor techniques. In many of these applications, sensor nodes that are equipped with directional sensors and they operate autonomously in unattended environments. The deployment strategy of directional sensor nodes is critical to improve target detection and tracking accuracy. In this paper, deployment of passive infrared motion (PIR) sensors is analyzed in terms of coverage issue. A PIR sensor Deployment (PSD) problem is addressed using deployment schemes that are based on computational geometry. Finally, the performance of deployment schemes is evaluated in a Java based simulation environment.

This research-in-progress proposes an approach that accounts for social and institutional issues in the design and implementation of sensor networks for air-quality monitoring. The proposed approach is evaluated through action research, in an initiative that seeks to enhance the air-quality sensor network of a Megalopolis based on data analytics. Preliminary findings indicate that the proposed approach improves access to resources, enhances the validity of design, and increases buy-in for implementation.

In this paper, we investigate the manner in which energy consumption in drone deliveries is affected by windy environmental conditions. We know in fact that the energy consumption of the drone will depend on the static and dynamic parameters of the scenario where it moves and according to these it decides, during the mission, to detour from the originally planned path to take advantage of the wind changes. In order to validate this, we simulate possible deliveries among fixed destinations relying on a real data-set of recorded winds obtained from different weather stations in Corsica, France. For our analysis, we will mainly concentrate on the evaluation of the delivery scheme proposed in the literature, where completing a delivery means finding a cycle for the drone that is feasible, i.e., that can be completed with the available energy autonomy of the drone.
