Emerging networked sensing and actuation technologies: End-to-end wireless systems design for mission critical applications

The goals of this tutorial are to create awareness of the state of the art in wireless sensor networks (WSN) from technology adoption perspective, to explain and demonstrate some of the generic design processes towards development of deployable wireless sensing and actuation systems (system design principles and development life cycle exemplified), and to provide a demonstration of a working, application- integrated body sensing and actuation wireless system.
