Abstract :
By integrating sensing, wireless communication and computation into tiny sensor devices, wireless sensor networks are receiving significant research attention from both academia and industry. Among the wide range of sensor network applications, assisted living has demonstrated great market potential as well as research challenges, and has been considered as one of the "killer" applications for wireless sensor networks.
