Sensors In Arduino Platform
This is another article on Sensors using Arduion platform. The first one ‘WSN Made Easy With Arduino Platform? can be found here. This will help you to understand some of the easiest methods to start implementing your sensor nodes. …
World of Sensors vs Virtual World of Networks of Computer
A concept of information technology that has the potential to radically revolutionise the way we communicate and exchange information called Speckled Computing has been in existence at the University of Edinburgh. According to the Director of the Centre for Speckled…
Can You Trust Your Car?
Wireless systems are being integrated into modern automobile. However, the security and privacy implication of those systems are not well understood as many of their communication protocols are proprietary. New anti-theft technologies have made today’s cars much harder to steal,…
Understanding Bacterial Sensors – The Future of WSN nodes
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) may have become an attractive solution for low power implementations and embedded systems. In this magazine we have shown by examples how WSN applications and its usage can span from critical physical infrastructure to historical buildings, structural…
Wireless Technology for Process Industries (WirelessHART)
Even though millions of Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) devices are installed worldwide, in most cases the valuable information they can provide is stranded in the devices. An estimated 85% of all installed HART devices are not being accessed to…

A Wireless Sensor Network Platform for Structural Health Monitoring
Structural health monitoring has long been identified as a prominent application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), as traditional wired-based solutions present some inherent limitations such as installation/maintenance cost, scalability and visual impact. Nevertheless, there is a lack of ready-to-use and…
Workshop On Human-X Haptic Collaboration
A haptic interface is a force reflecting device which allows a user to touch, feel, manipulate, create and/or alter simulated 3D objects in a virtual environment” This forces displays a technology that works by using mechanical actuators to apply forces…
The Creation of WSN-based GENESI
WSN-based systems for structural health monitoring could be the answer to the many dramatic events involving the collapse of public structures and private buildings. A system that is unavailable in today’s trend and that will be able to provide long…
