Abstract :
Sensor-Net is a sensing system using small wireless devices with sensors. The information from these sensors will gain value as we use more sensors, control more actuators, and deliver higher quality data to more users. In the future, healthcare services that use personal sensing devices will be necessary for most people and need to be able to provide important information to the users. To build a type of system with tiny sensing devices is one of the technological challenges towards a ubiquitous computing world.
