This book is intended to be a high-quality textbook that provides a carefully designed exposition of the important aspects of wireless sensor networks. The text provides thorough coverage of wireless sensor networks, including applications, communication and networking protocols, middleware, security, and management. The book is targeted toward networking professionals, managers, and practitioners who want to understand the benefits of this new technology and plan for its use and deployment.

Because they provide practical machine-to-machine communication at a very low cost, the popularity of wireless sensor networks is expected to skyrocket in the next few years, duplicating the recent explosion of wireless LANs

Protocols and Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks provides a thorough description of the nuts and bolts of wireless sensor networks.
