TLDR
This work reviews the key elements of the emergent technology of “Smart Dust” and outlines the research challenges they present to the mobile networking and systems community, which must provide coherent connectivity to large numbers of mobile network nodes co-located within a small volume.Abstract:
Large-scale networks of wireless sensors are becoming an active topic of research. Advances in hardware technology and engineering design have led to dramatic reductions in size, power consumption and cost for digital circuitry, wireless communications and Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). This has enabled very compact, autonomous and mobile nodes, each containing one or more sensors, computation and communication capabilities, and a power supply. The missing ingredient is the networking and applications layers needed to harness this revolutionary capability into a complete system. We review the key elements of the emergent technology of “Smart Dust” and outline the research challenges they present to the mobile networking and systems community, which must provide coherent connectivity to large numbers of mobile network nodes co-located within a small volume.read more

Partitioning Sensors by Node Coverage Grouping in Wireless Sensor Networks
TL;DR: This paper presents a novel approach to partition sensors in the WSN, called node coverage grouping (NCG), and shows that the NCG outperforms the LDAS and the PEAS methods in terms of the number of living nodes, theNumber of working nodes, and the coverage with the proceeding of system lifetime.

Information Asymmetry and Power in a Surveillance Society
TL;DR: The authors argue that many of the observed information asymmetries are not happenstance and, drawing from a wealth of scholarship from the economics and finance literature, posit that outcomes are inevitably detrimental.

Autonomic Sensor Networks: A New Paradigm for Collaborative Information Processing
TL;DR: A preliminary power-aware self-configuring and self-optimizing sensor selection scheme is developed to improve the performance and extend the lifetime of sensor networks and results confirm that the proposed power- Aware scheme prolongs the network lifetime and balances the energy in sensor nodes.

The DARPA packet radio network protocols
J. Jubin,J.D. Tornow +1 more
TL;DR: The algorithms are described and illustrated how the PRNET provides highly reliable network transport and datagram service, by dynamically determining optimal routes, effectively controlling congestion, and fairly allocating the channel in the face of changing link conditions, mobility, and varying traffic loads.

The Diamond Age
TL;DR: The Diamond Age as discussed by the authors is a major novel from one of the most visionary writers of our time, with a protagonist who breaks the rigorous moral code of his tribe, the powerful Neo-Victorians, by making an illicit copy of a state-of-the-art interactive device called a young lady's illustrated primer.
