Sensor survey: Part 2 sensors and sensor networks in five years [Sensor Survey Results]

Part 1 of this column, in the February 2009 issue of this magazine, described the current state of sensors and sensor networks according to the responses returned in the sensor survey that I sent out [1]. This column will show where the survey respondents think sensors and sensor networks are going within the next 5 years. Some background of the survey is given here from Part 1.
