“…For determined deployment, the sensors can be deployed along the road-side, or at a metro station, etc. The Sand [12] sensor network for target tracking and the CitySense [1] network for urban monitoring are the instances where optimal patterns can be provided [13]. However, lots of routing protocols are designed for random deployment.…”

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been proposed for monitoring physical environments. The applications in WSNs have comprised a wide variety of scenarios. The design of routing protocols in WSNs becomes more complicated than the traditional network when we consider the energy cost, throughput, reliability, and delay as routing metrics. Selecting a particular routing protocol mainly depends on the capabilities of the nodes, and on the requirements of the application. In this chapter, we will briefly discuss the existing utility-based routing protocols for WSNs. We put them into several categories according to their utility properties, such as delay, cost, and packet delivery ratio. In addition, we will also cover the composition-based utility for wireless networks and its extensions in low duty-cycle WSNs.

“…Over the last few years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been used in many applications, such as military surveillance, infrastructure protection, and scientific exploration [1,2,3,4]. The major task of WSNs is to monitor environmental changes and report unexpected events to the destination.…”

“…The first one used the CitySense sensing network (Murty et al, 2008) as the underlying sensing and data collection infrastructure. The main goal of the ongoing CitySense project is to build an urban sensor network to measure environmental parameters and is thus the data source for further data analysis.…”

“…For example, in CenceMe [1] a range of the phone's sensing modalities (such as accelerometers, microphone, light, location) are used in order to detect user activities and upload this information to various social networks like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Similarly, in CitySense [2] crowd-sourced sensed information is used to analyze human behavior so as to produce a live map of city-wide social activities. Although there is real value in detecting a range of contextual information through mobile phone sensing, the limited battery life and the fixed types of sensing modalities available on mobile phones, impose restrictions on the type and the accuracy of sensing that can be employed.…”

Abstract. The increasing popularity of location based social services such as Facebook Places, Foursquare and Google Latitude, solicits a new trend in fusing social networking with real world sensing. The availability of a wide range of sensing technologies in our everyday environment presents an opportunity to further enrich social networking systems with fine-grained real-world sensing. However, the introduction of passive sensing into a social networking application disrupts the traditional, user-initiated input to social services, raising both privacy and acceptability concerns. In this work we present an empirical study of the introduction of a sensor-driven social sharing application within the working environment of a research institution. Our study is based on a real deployment of a system that involves location tracking, conversation monitoring, and interaction with physical objects. By utilizing surveys, interviews and experience sampling techniques, we report on our findings regarding privacy and user experience issues, and significant factors that can affect acceptability of such services by the users. Our results suggest that such systems deliver significant value in the form of self reflection and comparison with others, while privacy concerns are raised primarily by the limited control over the way individuals are projected to their peers.
