Abstract :
Sensor networks pose unique technical and logistical challenges. One of the most widely cited applications for sensor networks is monitoring national borders for humans attempting to surreptitiously cross on foot, especially at night. Other suggested applications of sensor networks include battlefield observation and forest fire detection
