Overview

This volume presents proceedings from the 19th IFIP World Computer Congress in Santiago, Chile. The proceedings of the World Computer Congress are a product of the gathering of 2,000 delegates from more than 70 countries to discuss a myriad of topics in the ICT domain. Of particular note, this marks the first time that a World Computer Congress has been held in a Latin American country. Topics in this series include: - The 4th International Conference on Theoretical Computer Science - Education for the 21st Century- Impact of ICT and Digital Resources - Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks - Ad-Hoc Networking - Network Control and Engineering for QoS, Security, and Mobility - The Past and Future of Information Systems: 1976-2006 and Beyond - History of Computing and Education - Biologically Inspired Cooperative Computing - Artificial Intelligence in Theory and Practice - Applications in Artificial Intelligence - Advanced Software Engineering: Expanding the Frontiers of Software

Reviews

From the reviews: I agree with the author that low power consumption technology is a major issue for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). ! In order to improve the performance of these wireless, networks, the author propose the use of a reliability control based on a polling service, along with controlled transmissions. ! I recommend this book as part of the suggested reading list for a one-semester, advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate course on networks. (J. Myerson, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (8), August, 2008)
