Distributed Sensor Systems (PDF)

This book focuses on the distinct but tightly inter-related
areas of development for distributed sensing systems

In this book, the authors discuss the technological developments
lead by sensor technology, addressing viable new applications to
inspire a technological evolution. Under the advanced and visionary
approach of distributed intelligence, the authors focus on three
distinct but tightly inter-related areas of developments for
distributed sensing systems (DSS): firstly, the sensor technology
embracing the conversion of the phenomena of interest into
desirable form of signal such as electric, secondly, the
interaction process between sensing points which requires immense
intelligence loosely called networking, and finally, the adoption
of useful maturing systems through potential applications for right
impacts for a better life and a brighter economy. Furthermore, the
book contains a number of case studies and typical applications
illustrating the technical details, features and functions of the
systems, as well as demonstrating their benefits and
limitations.
