Distributed inference when the participants are only machines or electronic devices, e.g., sensors, has been explored extensively in the signal processing and machine learning literature. However, ...

Sensor networks are highly distributed networks of small, lightweight wireless nodes, deployed in large numbers to monitor the environment or system by the measurement of physical parameters such as ...

For office and household users, the intermittent unreliability of computer networks is a frustrating inconvenience, but for scientific researchers it can disrupt data pipeline necessary to advance ...

One way to design an underwater monitoring device is to take inspiration from nature and emulate an underwater creature. [Michael Barton-Sweeney] is making devices in the shape of, and functioning ...

Sensor network projects often focus primarily on electronic design elements, such as architecture and wireless transmission methods for sensors and gateways. Equally important, however, are physical ...

Distribution of quantum states generated by a central node to each node, phase encoding at each node, and estimation of arbitrary linear combinations of phases through local measurements. Precise ...

Sun Microsystems has announced a project that could put easy-to-manage sensor networks in the hands of average computer programmers worldwide – helping to make networked sensors more prevalent. A ...
