To overcome the drawbacks of the short lifetime in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) caused
by the imbalanced energy consumption, this paper proposes an efficient ant colony taboo …

Many who suffer from Bipolar Disorder are keen to control their disease with as little external
medical intervention as possible. Self help through websites, meetings, and questionnaires …

A unique feature of sensor networks is the capability of performing actions in response to
events detected by sensors. Such a feature requires a mechanism to create an association …

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have emerged as an enabling technology for a variety of
distributed applications. WSN middleware eases the development of these applications by …

Telecare and telehealth system services can be dynamically configured to collect, analyse,
store, and adapt to multimodal data about people as they go about their activities of daily life …

Sensors are playing an increasingly important role in our lives, and for these devices to
perform to their maximum potential, they need to work together. A single device can provide …

This thesis presents a study into conflicts that emerge amongst sensor device rules when
such devices are formed into networks. It describes conflicting patterns of communication …

Significant developments in microprocessor and sensor technology make wirelessly
connected small computing devices widely available; hence they are being used frequently …

Since it is easier to describe programs in a rule-based language than a procedural
language, systems described in a rule-based language have been proposed. But, it is …

Recent years have witnessed significant interest in wireless sensor networking (WSN) due
to its profound effect on the efficiency of many applications, plus the progress in sensor …
