Energy Efficient Data Management Techniques In Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy Efficient Data Management Techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks, Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks is ideal to deal with the energy aspects of WSNs. It covers all the aspects of sensor networks with respect to energy conservation and optimization. It outlines the mechanisms, techniques, and algorithms of the physical layer, the media access control (MAC) layer, and the network layer in context with energy efficiency. It delves into energy-efficient security mechanisms and gives special attention to MAC protocols while presenting the current state of the art. This book discusses advances in energy-efficient algorithms using soft computing techniques and comparative analysis of these with traditional techniques. It also discusses the hierarchical network that improves the WSN lifetime and explores operational-level power management and energy harvesting. In addition to presenting other operational processes such as data aggregation, localization, time synchronization, and coverage, this book also discusses open research issues and considers the application and future trends of WSNs. Written primarily for students who are striving to understand the concepts of WSNs, Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks provides direction for budding researchers to explore a new area of research in WSNs. Industry experts and technical managers will also benefit from learning new business ideas and models as well as technological know-how. Book jacket.

Data Center Handbook

Provides the fundamentals, technologies, and best practices in designing, constructing and managing mission critical, energy efficient data centers Organizations in need of high-speed connectivity and nonstop systems operations depend upon data centers for a range of deployment solutions. A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes multiple power sources, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and security devices. With contributions from an international list of experts, The Data Center Handbook instructs readers to: Prepare strategic plan that includes location plan, site selection, roadmap and capacity planning Design and build "green" data centers, with mission critical and energy-efficient infrastructure Apply best practices to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions Apply IT technologies such as cloud and virtualization Manage data centers in order to sustain operations with minimum costs Prepare and practice disaster reovery and business continuity plan The book imparts essential knowledge needed to implement data center design and construction, apply IT technologies, and continually improve data center operations.
