This paper presents a new Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) suitable for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The restrictions that are imposed by ultra low-cost sensor and actuators devices (basic components of a WSN) are taken into account to reach a minimal footprint solution. The WSN communication model we use is based on the picoObject approach [1] which implements a lightweight middleware for W...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is used for detecting and identifying the tagged objects by electromagnetic signals. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) which consists of a huge numbers of nodes and monitor the condition of the environment including pressure, humidity, and temperature. Integration of RFID and WSN will open a large number of applications in which it is important to sense...

WSN has been directed from military applications to various civil applications. However, many applications are not ready for real world deployment. Most challenging issues are still unresolved. The main challenge facing the operation of WSN is saving energy to prolong the network lifetime. Clustering is an efficient technique used for managing energy consumption. However, clustering is an NP ha...

The wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has been grown immensely in the past few decades. Researcher had proposed a number of routing protocols for WSN. WSN has two type of architecture layered and cluster architecture. We classify various clustering approaches based on different criterion in section [3]. Hierarchical Clustering protocols discussed in section [4] have extensively been used to achie...

Warm sensitive neurons (WSN) play a major role not only in body temperature regulation, but also in sleep regulation. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of WSN of the preoptic area (POA) in mediating the ambient temperature (T(amb)) related changes in sleep. The effect of T(amb) changes on sleep and body temperature was studied in rats before and after destruction of WSN o...

Wireless sensor network (WSN) has been used in widespread domains, and the real-time response is required by many WSN applications. However, due to the memory resources limitation on the sensor nodes, the current WSN OSs such as TinyOS, Contiki, SOS, mantisOS, etc., are not real-time ones. To achieve the objective of designing a realtime OS with low memory resource consumption, a new WSN OS nam...

The objective of this research is to integrate an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader into a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to authorize or keep track of people carrying RFID tags. The objective was accomplished by integrating hardware and software. The hardware consisted of two WSN nodes – the RFID node connected to one of the WSN nodes, and a computer connected to the other WSN node. ...

Operating system (OS) technology is significant for the proliferation of the wireless sensor network (WSN). With an outstanding OS; the constrained WSN resources (processor; memory and energy) can be utilized efficiently. Moreover; the user application development can be served soundly. In this article; a new hybrid; real-time; memory-efficient; energy-efficient; user-friendly and fault-toleran...

Influenza virus strains are often pleiomorphic, a characteristic that is largely attributed to specific residues in matrix protein 1 (M1). Although the mechanism by which M1 controls virion morphology has not yet been defined, it is suggested that the M1 interaction with other viral proteins plays an important role. In this study, we rescued recombinant virus WSN-AichiM1 containing the spherica...

Key management in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is an active research topic. Due to the large number of key management schemes (KMS) proposed in the literature, it is not easy for a sensor network designer to know exactly which KMS best fits in a particular WSN application. In this article, we offer a comprehensive review on how the application requirements and the properties of various key ma...
