Enabling quick deployment wireless sensor networks for smart cities

WSNs provide a new sensing tool which is basic in the development of improved ways for managing intelligent cities. However, the deployment phase is a complex and slow process that requires pre-planning tasks and qualified personnel. This discourages the use of WSNs, which once installed, could provide high versatility and range of applications at low cost. Our study proposes a quick deployment sensor networks system, which assists the final user (that may not have technical knowledge) to build networks in a multipurpose, easy and fast way.
