In last two decades, various monitoring systems have been designed and deployed in urban
environments, toward the realization of the so called smart cities. Such systems are based …

Precision agriculture (PA) is an interdisciplinary concept of integrating information
technology in agriculture to increase the production and quality of the crops. One of the most …

As projections highlight that half of the global population will be living in regions facing
severe water scarcity by 2050, sustainable water management policies and practices are …

This paper proposes a new sensor placement approach for leak location in water
distribution networks (WDNs). The sensor placement problem is formulated as an integer …

Pressure control is one of the main techniques to control leakages in Water Distribution
Networks (WDNs) and to prevent pipe damage, improving the delivery standards of a water …

Sensor placement optimization plays a key role in structural health monitoring (SHM) of
large mechanical structures. Given the existence of an effective damage identification …

Sparse sensor placement strategies are applied to reconstruct a region's full-state data
conditioned to a limited number of sensors; particularly, crucial to ocean monitoring systems …

Insights and recommendations next step forward are provided to better harness

The failure of pipelines in water distribution networks results in a significant volume of
pristine quality water being lost. Failing infrastructure is often identified through different …

To satisfy their main goal, namely providing quality water to consumers, water distribution
networks (WDNs) need to be suitably monitored. Only well designed and reliable monitoring …
