The book presents not only the state of the art technologies and solutions to tackle the critical challengesfaced by the building and developmentof the WSN and ecologicalmonitoringsystembutalsopotentialimpactonsocietyatsocial,medicaland technologicallevel. In the first chapter E. Jafer has discussed different innovation circuits and sys- tem techniques for building advanced smart devices that can be used for different multi-sensorsmonitoringapplications.Lowpowerconsumptionandhighreliabilityare among the main criteria that must be given priority when designing such wirelessly poweredMicrosystems. Yueh-MinHuangandYing-XunLaiinthenextchapterhaveproposedadistributed energymanagementsystemimplementedwithinfamilyheterogeneousnetworkarchi- tecture. Through the communication and coordination of things in IoT (Internet of Things), the system automatically search nodes with comparatively low computing loadwithinthemicro-processorsinneighboringappliances,andimplementsdistributed computingbyusingmultiplenodesandtherecognitionalgorithm. InthethirdchapterM.T.KeandC. Y.Leehavereviewedthevariousstate-of-the- artMEMS-basedweathersensors.Thechapterthendescribedtheintegrationofthese sensorstoformawirelessMEMS-basedweatherstationcapableofmeasuringallofthe weatherparametersofinterest. In the fourth chapter, sensor and available wireless network technologies and sev- eralexamplesoffieldnetworksfromTaiwanandVirginia(USA)havebeenbriefedby J.H. Porter and C.C. Li. The examplesinclude networkswhich monitor meteorologi- calvariables,lakephysicalandchemicalcharacteristics,waterlevels,butterflyhabitat, and forest dynamics, including sound and images. The advantages of hybrid sensor networksandareaswhereadditionalimprovementsneededhavebeenpresented. In the next chapter, Quincy Wu and Hui-Hsiung Chung have demonstrated a management system to utilize SNMP and SIP as a common mechanism to support VI Editorial SmartGrid management.Both protocolswere implementedon a real embeddedplat- form,andtheperformanceisfurtherevaluatedandcompared.Theexperimentalresults showedthattheSIPprotocolstackoccupiesmorememoryspace,butitsresponsetime isshorter.Inchoosingwhichmanagementprotocoltoadopt,devicemanufacturerscan makethetechnicalchoicesaccordingtowhethertheyneedtosavethe memoryspace ortheresponsetime.

Inthenextchapter,B.Stephen,C.MichieandI.Andonovic,havereportedaWireless sensornetworksbasedplatformwithvariousmonitoringdevicestoconveyandprocess measurements pertaining to behavior and physiology of livestock. A wireless sensor attached to livestock must not only have lengthy battery life, thus minimizing costly maintenance, it may also have to transmit data over long ranges. In this chapter, the connectivity of a wireless sensor network formed from a herd of free-ranging cows wearingcollarmountedsensorsismodeledusingsetsofGPSfixesgatheredfromon- animaltelemetry,thusremovingtheneedtosimulateplacement. The design of a wireless sensor network for the Structural Health Monitoring of bridgeshasbeenpresentedbyM.Reyer,S.Hurlebaus,J.Mander,O.E.Ozbulutinthe followingchapter.Thenetworkisbasedonusingcommerciallyavailablewirelesssen- sorstomeasureandextractthevibrationcharacteristicsofabridge.Duetothedistances associatedwithlargesystemstrade-offsarenecessaryinthestandardnetworkdesign. One key feature of the present system proposed is the need of multi-hop of partially processeddatatothebasestation. Inthenextchapter“ASensingApproachtoFruit-Growing”byTakaharuKameoka and Atsushi Hashimoto has experimental demonstration using wireless sensor net- work in a mandarin orange orchard and in a vineyard to promote smart cultivation management. G.R.MendezandS.C.MukhopadhyayhavepresentedAWi-FibasedSmartWire- less Sensor Network for an Agricultural Environment in their chapter.The system is capableof intelligentlymonitoringagriculturalconditionsin a pre-programmedman- ner.Thesystemconsistsofthreestations:SensorNode,Router,andServer.Thesystem isdesignedformonitoringoftheclimateconditioninanagriculturalenvironmentsuch asfieldorgreenhouse,thesensorstationisequippedwithseveralsensorelementssuch as Temperature,humidity,light, air pressure,soil moistureand water level.The com- munication between the sensor node and the server is achieved via 802.11g wireless modules. C.-P. Chen, M.-S. Liao, and J.-A. Jiang in the last chapter have presenteda WSN- basedecologicalmonitoringsystemanddeployedinafieldtomonitorthenumberofthe orientalfruitfly(Bactroceradorsalis(Hendel))andcapturelong-termandup-to-minute Editorial VII naturalenvironmentalfluctuations.Moreover,anadaptiveclassificationapproach,built uponself-organizingmapsandsupportvectormachines,isincorporatedintothemon- itoring system to automatically identify special events of pest outbreaks and sensor faults.
