Master the numerical simulation process required to design, test and support mobile and parallel computing systems. An accompanying ftp site contains all the Visual C++ based programs discussed in the text to help readers create their own programs. With its focus on problems and solutions, this is an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, and a must-have reference for researchers and professionals in the field of simulations. More information about Visual C++ based programs can be found at: ftp: //ftp.wiley.com/public/sci_tech_med/numerical_simulations/

The book covers wireless sensor networks applications, both existing and projected, in commercial industry, society in general, and academic research. It provides up-to-date information on research and development activities, covering energy-efficient self-organization and self-governance, localization, MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks, energy-efficient routing, collection, fusion, mining, and visualization of data from sensor nodes, distributed resource management, mobility modeling, multi-network integration, and security issues.

Since using visibility graphs in robotics is very time-consuming, professionals have taken to using parallel models-this book addresses the main issues concerning visibility-related problems in parallel models of computation, as well as their current and prospective future applications Discusses visibility problems in technology and scientific research, manufacturing industries, the healthcare industry, telemedicine, homeland security, and many others Includes mesh-based multi-computers, coarse-grain computers, triangulation problems and object visibility algorithms

Topics in Wireless Networks covers the area of wireless networks both based on preexisting and non-preexisting infrastructure. The topics addressed cover cellular and satellite networks and ad-hoc and sensor networks that do not rely on pre-existing infrastructure, covering physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, including localization and quality of service issues.
