Overview
Applications which use wireless sensors are increasing in number. The emergence of wireless sensor networks has also motivated the integration of a large number of small and lightweight nodes which integrate sensors, processors, and wireless transceivers. Existing books on wireless sensor networks mainly focus on protocols and networks and pay little attention to the sensors themselves which the author believes is the main focus. Without adequate knowledge of sensors as well as how they can be designed, realized and used, books on wireless sensor networks become too theoretical and irrelevant. The purpose of this book is to intimately acquaint readers with the technique of sensing (resistive, capacitive, inductive, magnetic, inertial, etc.) and existing sensor technologies. It also discusses how the sensors are used in a wide application domain and how new sensors can be designed and used in a novel way.

Author Information
Waltenegus Dargie, Associate Professor, Dresden University of Technology, Germany. Professor Dargie holds a PhD in Computer Engineering from the Technical University of Dresden, Germany (2006). His educational background in electrical engineering, electronics, and computer engineering inspired him to consolidate these subject areas in a single book. He has rich teaching and research experience at various universities, having taught wireless sensor networks, computer networks, and stochastic processes for more than eight years. These courses have enabled him to collect a vast amount of material used in this book. In 2010 he co-authored a book on wireless sensor networks, which is now being used as a text book in many universities around the world (Fundamentals of Wireless Sensor Networks: Theory and Practice, Wiley).
