Abstract
Real-world applications drive the interest in ad hoc and sensor networks. Ad hoc and sensor networks are expected to solve practical problems or to enhance existing life activities. A wide range of applications motivates ad hoc and sensor network development efforts. The unique context of each application scenario requires highly customized performance guarantees. This chapter examines the proposed applications and the related performance requirements that characterize these applications.
