Distributed and collaborative wireless sensor networks (WSN) plays key role in developing Smart Environment. A Smart Environment needs information about its surroundings as well as about its internal working; this information’s are monitored and collected by the network of wireless sensors. The futuristic application of distributed WSN includes : Animal monitoring, Vehicle monitoring, Enemy mon...

A novel technique is proposed for measuring the distributed strain and temperature in a fiber with a very high resolution. This technique makes use of the jagged appearance of Rayleigh backscatter traces from a single-mode fiber measured by using a coherent OTDR with a precisely frequency-controlled light source. Our preliminary experiment indicated the possibility of measuring temperature with...

This paper presents research on enabling cooperative decision strategies in a distributed sensor network. The paper begins with an introduction to distributed sensor networks and outlines two levels of cooperation: implicit and explicit cooperation. Implicit cooperation is the process of building and maintaining a common distributed picture where explicit cooperation is the process of negotiati...

This paper presents a technical solution for sensor network monitoring based on virtual instrumentation. Computer developing allows usage of virtual instrumentation for measurement, data acquisition, signal processing, estimation, monitoring, fault detection and diagnosis. The sensor networks may be use as distributed measuring sensors for the physical variables in distributed parameter systems...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used to perform distributed sensing in various fields, such as health, military, home etc. In WSNs, sensor nodes should communicate among themselves and do distributed computation over the sensed values to identify the occurrence of an event. This paper assumes the no memory computation model for sensor nodes, i.e. the sensor nodes only have two registers. Th...

The paper analyzes two important issues in the design of multi-robot systems: (i) motion planning with the use of distributed algorithms, (ii) sensor fusion with the use of Extended Kalman or Particle Filtering. First, distributed gradient for motion planning of a multi-robot system is examined. The dynamic model of the multi-robot system is derived and its convergence to the desirable position...
