Ambient Intelligence is a vision where environment becomes
smart, friendly, context-aware and responsive to any type
of human needs. In this world, computing and networking
technology coexist with people in a ubiquitous and pervasive
way. In this world, numerous miniature and interconnected
smart devices create a new intelligence and interact with
each other seamlessly.
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are one of the first real
world examples enabling that vision of Ambient Intelligence.
Within a WSN, sensory data originate from multiple sensors
of different types spread over potentially wide areas. Virtually
any kind of physical quantities such as temperature, voltage,
pressure, acceleration, ultrasound, gas flow, etc. can be
acquired. Likewise, actuators can be used as a means to
influence or control the environment. For coordination and
information exchanges, the various nodes communicate over
a wireless mesh network in a self-organized manner. (More...)
