From the supplier: Facilities managers and interior designers should follow building codes and standards as these affect the design of structures, the building's performance, the value of the building and the performance of the residents. The BOCA National Building Code, the Uniform Building Code and the Standard Building Code are example of regulations governing the design and construction of buildings. The multiplicity of model building codes are spurring facilities managers to work for the adoption of one consolidated set of building laws.

Book Description

Wireless sensor networks are currently one of the “hottest” research topics of the mobile/wireless community. They combine current research and development trends from a number of different disciplines (hardware design, information/signal processing, communication networks, control theory, databases, etc.) in order to answer future challenges, distinct from the “traditional” kinds of networks.

Providing a thorough description of the most important problems and questions that have to be addressed in a WSN, Protocols and Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks provides a single source of information that makes these research fields easily accessible to both graduate students and practitioners alike. 

Its coverage includes:

• Architectures
• Communication protocols
• Application support
• Practical examples
• Case studies
• Modelling and simulation

In addition to this it also covers issues relevant to protocol design practitioners including how to model such systems and how to evaluate the performance using simulations. ... Read more
