Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to teach the fundamentals of ongoing scientific research on wireless sensor networks and the fundamentals of data processing on wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks have grown in popularity over the past few years. This area has many potential applications, such as remote inspection of natural parks, civil engineering, security applications and smart transport applications. Having knowledge about the working principles and application areas of wireless sensor networks will positively contribute to the students studying in the field of computer science. Topics to be covered are the main application areas of wireless sensor networks, packet routing, positioning, topology control, security and simulation.
