Abstract. A major challenge in pervasive computing is to learn activity patterns, such as bathing and cleaning from sensor data. Typical sensor deployments generate sparse datasets...
— Data dissemination strategies and communication protocols that minimize the use of energy can significantly prolong the lifetime of a sensor network. Data-centric disseminatio...

Nodes in sensor networks often encounter spatially-correlated contention, where multiple nodes in the same neighborhood all sense an event they need to transmit information about....
— Data aggregation protocols can reduce the cost of communication, thereby extending the lifetime of sensor networks. Prior work on data aggregation protocols has focused on tree...
Sensors can be paired with radio units and deployed to form a wireless ad-hoc sensor network. Actual deployments must consider the coverage that can be achieved with a given numbe...
