An emerging information technology is to allow human to monitor and measure the physical world via a large amount of low-cost sensors for data gathering, query processing and environment monitoring. The general field is called the wireless sensor networks (WSN). Several potential applications of WSN have been considered, such as military surveillance, structural monitoring, habitat monitoring, patient monitoring, etc. Research on WSN has grown quickly over the last 5 years. It is a highly inter-disciplinary field since it involves techniques from the application layer (e.g. data/signal processing, distributed algorithms), the networking layer (e.g. distributed protocols, routing) and the physical layer (e.g. sensor design and manufacturing, wireless communication). One critical issue to be addressed in all three layers is power management. It is expected to be one of the very fast growing fields in the next decade in both academic and industrial sectors. This talk will provide a broad view of recent developments in WSN and point out some interesting research problems. Some new research results conducted at the University of Southern California (USC) will also be mentioned.
