  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Autonomous Sensor Networks

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Chemical Sensors and Biosensors ((SSSENSORS,volume 13))

Abstract

With the increasingly ubiquitous use of web-based technologies in modern society, autonomous sensor networks represent the future in large-scale information acquisition for applications ranging from environmental monitoring to in-vivo sensing. This chapter presents a range of on-going projects with an emphasis on environmental sensing; relevant literature pertaining to sensor networks is reviewed, validated sensing applications are described and the contribution of high-resolution temporal data to better decision-making is discussed.
