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

A key management scheme for wireless sensor networks using deployment knowledge
TL;DR: It is shown that the performance of sensor networks can be substantially improved with the use of the proposed random key pre-distribution scheme, which exploits deployment knowledge and avoids unnecessary key assignments.

Habitat monitoring: application driver for wireless communications technology
TL;DR: This work proposes a tiered system architecture in which data collected at numerous, inexpensive sensor nodes is filtered by local processing on its way through to larger, more capable and more expensive nodes.

PEAS: a robust energy conserving protocol for long-lived sensor networks
TL;DR: A robust energy-conserving protocol that can build long-lived, resilient sensor networks using a very large number of small sensors with short battery lifetime, PEAS can extend a sensor network's functioning time in linear proportion to the deployed sensor population.

Grid coverage for surveillance and target location in distributed sensor networks
TL;DR: It is shown that grid-based sensor placement for single targets provides asymptotically complete location of multiple targets in the grid, and coding-theoretic bounds on the number of sensors are provided and methods for determining their placement in the sensor field are presented.

A survey of autonomic computing—degrees, models, and applications
TL;DR: An introduction to the motivation and concepts of autonomic computing is provided and some research that has been seen as seminal in influencing a large proportion of early work is described, including the works that have provided significant contributions to an established reference model.

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.
Book
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.
