Resource-Aware Wireless Sensor-Actuator Networks Amol Deshpande, Carlos Guestrin, and Samuel Madden   View Paper (PDF)   Return to March 2005, In-Network Query Processing, Volume 28, Number 1 Abstract Innovations in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have dramatically expanded the applicability of control technology in day-to-day life, by enabling the cost-effective deployment of large scale sensor-actuator systems. In this paper, we discuss the issues and challenges involved in deploying control-oriented applications over unreliable, resource-constrained WSNs, and describe the design of our planned Sensor Control System (SCS) that can enable the rapid development and deployment of such applications. ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
