We present the use of swept wavelength interferometry for distributed fiber-optic, temperature measurements of up to 850degC over a 1m fiber segment in commercially available, single mode, gold coated fiber. The interrogation technique is... more
Featured Application: Distributed fibre optic sensors for geo-hydrological applications: a comprehensive review about methodology, weaknesses, and strengths. Abstract: Distributed optical fibre sensing, employing either Rayleigh, Raman,... more
This paper presents the design, implementation, and operation of a novel distributed fault-tolerant middleware. It uses interconnected WSNs that implement the Map-Reduce paradigm, consisting of several low-cost and low-power... more
A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors that cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion, or pollutants, at different... more
Sensor networks offer a powerful combination of distributed sensing, computing and communication. They lend themselves to countless applications and, at the same time, offer numerous challenges due to their peculiarities, primarily the... more
A distributed sensing/fusion network consists of more than one (spatially) separated sensors, each with possibly different characteristics and not all of them sensing the same en-vironment. Due to their vast applicability, there has... more
Electronic noses are intelligent instruments that are able to classify and quantify different gas/odours. Here we suggest the integration of a small form factor computer inside the electronic nose. This concept allows us to easily provide... more
– A short range wireless network platform, based on Bluetooth technology and on a Round Robin scheduling is presented. The objective is to build an application independent platform, to support a distributed sensing and actuation control... more
Due to limited energy of sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network, an energy-efficient routing protocol with static clustering and dynamic structure (ERP-SCDS) is proposed in this paper. Utilizing virtual points in a corona-based... more
Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) combine sensors and actuators interconnected by wireless networks in order to perform distributed sensing and acting tasks. Closed-loop controllers can therefore be deployed on WSANs; such... more
We study the adjointness problem for the closed extensions of a general b-elliptic operator A in x^{-\nu}Diff^m_b(M;E), \nu>0, initially defined as an unbounded operator A:C_c^\infty(M;E)\subset x^\mu L^2_b(M;E)\to x^\mu L^2_b(M;E), \mu... more
