چکیده
This paper is devoted to a recently running project with a purpose of getting some useful feedback from the interested community. The main point of the project is an attempt to apply approaches developed in the scope of the Ambient Intelligence area and usually implemented indoor (eg., intelligent homes) also in various fields suitable for largescale outdoor activities (esp. working) applications, like water resources management, forestry, etc. The paper is oriented on investigation and sketching of some possibilities of large scale intelligent sensor network solutions for multi-agent based application in various areas where outdoor activities are frequent, but also where people working outdoor might need some more support because of possible hazardous situations that could appear. All the presented ideas are based on our recent project SMEW: Smart Environments at Workplaces that is oriented on bringing more intelligence to workplaces in general, but it has been oriented prevailingly on indoor working activities. Extending the approaches already developed in its scope to selected outdoor activities seems to be very challenging and useful. Keywords-wireless sensor networks; large-scale applications; ambient intelligence; outdoor activities

متن کاملLPKP: location-based probabilistic key pre-distribution scheme for large-scale wireless sensor networks using graph coloring
Communication security of wireless sensor networks is achieved using cryptographic keys assigned to the nodes. Due to resource constraints in such networks, random key pre-distribution schemes are of high interest. Although in most of these schemes no location information is considered, there are scenarios that location information can be obtained by nodes after their deployment. In this paper,...
متن کاملTarget Tracking Based on Virtual Grid in Wireless Sensor Networks
One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...
