Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date listing of many of these problems. … The book should be of particular interest to readers who want to learn about current hardware and software challenges that affect WSNs, in a brief and concise manner. … it will be most useful if used as a basis from which interested readers can explore the topic in much greater depth. … readers from other continents will find its lists of open problems useful and rewarding." (Burkhard Englert, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2009)
