Networked control systems and wireless sensor networks: theories and applications

A ranking method for sensor services based on estimation of service access cost

“…A WSN usually consists of a group of autonomous sensor nodes with wireless communication capabilities [46] and can be deployed at diverse locations (e.g., indoor or remote areas. Usually remote areas are difficult for human beings to reach) for a variety of purposes such as industrial control and monitoring, home automation and consumer electronics, security and military sensing, asset tracking and supply chain management, intelligent agriculture and health monitoring [46].…”

Improving the Resilience of Wireless Sensor Networks Against Security Threats: A Survey and Open Research Issues

“…On the other hand, external attacks are carried out through snooping and injecting fractional data into wireless networks. These attacks are further classified into logical network layers (application, transport, network, data link and physical layers) depending upon the type of attack made (Yang, 2014). The number of attacks which targeted the application layer, and the total number of attacks suffered by WSNs, are classified by Li and Gong (2008), López and Zhou (2008), Araujo et al (2012), Lopez et al (2010), Ali et al (2015).…”

“…The base station utilizes either public or dedicated communication links connected to a sensor network task manager (Boukerch et al, 2007;Chen et al, 2007b;Khalid et al, 2013;Sarobin & Ganesan, 2016). WSNs possess many benefits, including their low-cost, low-power, robustness, durability, small size, ease of deployment and multi-function ability (Yang & Cao, 2008;Yick et al, 2008;Li & Gong, 2008;Lasol & Pornpromlikit, 2016). Due to their extensive utilization and benefits, these sensors are frequently deployed in places such as deep water, battlefields, forests, airports and extreme temperature environments, which were very difficult to monitor in the past.…”

“…A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a system composed of devices and actuators to monitor and control any tasks associated with operations in certain environments when connected wirelessly (Yang, 2014). The generic architecture of a WSN is based on sensors placed over a specified field to sense and collect information on a specific task and to communicate back to its base station, often referred to as a data sink.…”

“…Subsequently, IEEE set ZigBee as the WSN standard for wireless communication (Kinney, 2003;Egan, 2005;Yang, 2014).…”
