Foreword
The twentieth century ended with the vision of smart dust: a network of wirelessly connected devices whose size would match that of a dust particle, each one a selfcontained package equipped with sensing, computation, communication, and power. Smart dust held the promise to bridge the physical and digital worlds in the most unobtrusive manner, blending together realms that were previously considered well separated. Applications involved scattering hundreds, or even thousands, of smart dust devices to monitor various environmental quantities in scenarios ranging from habitat monitoring to disaster management. The devices were envisioned to selforganize to accomplish their task in the most efficient way. As such, smart dust would become a powerful tool, assisting the daily activities of scientists and engineers in a wide range of disparate disciplines. Wireless sensor networks (W
