Temperature adaptive sensor networks (TASN) for harsh environments

Advances in hardware miniaturization enable the mass-production of low-cost sensor devices equipped with microprocessors, memory and wireless communication. A key challenge in sensor networks is to limit network energy consumption, as it is impractical to replace batteries on thousands of deployed devices in a remote or dangerous environment. Moreover, the network must adapt to potentially harsh environmental conditions, such as temperature and radiation, in a way that addresses energy concerns, the challenge is to optimize system behavior and energy consumption under performance constraints.
