Wireless Sensor Networks for Cultural Property Protection

Wireless sensor network technology has been proven to have a strong impact on our daily life from many real applications. In this paper wireless sensor networks for cultural property protection are introduced. We deployed wireless sensor networks in Bul-guk-sa Temple, which is one of the most important UNESCO cultural property sites in Korea. This paper presents our wireless sensor network system for monitoring and protecting cultural property from the aspect of application design to network system management.
