Preface
The advances in sensor design have decreased the size, weight, and cost of sensors by orders of magnitude, yet with the increase of higher spatial and temporal resolution and accuracy. With the fast progress of sensors design and communications technique, sensor networks have also been quickly evolving in both research and practical domains in the last decade. More and more sensor networks have been deployed in real-world to gather information for our daily life. Applications of sensor networks can be found in battlefield surveillance, environmental monitoring, biological detection, smart spaces, industrial d
