Introduction to Practical Deployments on Wireless Sensor Networks

Authors:

Keywords: Wireless Sensor Networks, Practical Deployments, Real-world Implementations

Abstract:
In the recent years there have been many published papers related on sensors. We can say that it is one of the hot topics of the last decades. But, the more we read, the more we realize that almost all are theoretical proposals or new theories. Very few works show real sensor networks deployments. While sensor network surveys show their benefits and the fields where they can be applied, they don't show who, how and where they have been deployed. In this paper, we are going to explain which motivation has roused us to create this special issue, and we will provide the main steps that a practical deployment should follow to be implemented. Then, we will introduce all the papers that have been selected to be published in this issue.
