Distributed Sensor Networks is bringing technology into our environment - where we will be able to see, hear, coordinate, and control all kinds of things based upon the sophistication of the distributed system.
 The emerging stage of distributed sensor networks will provide the capability of programming the sensor network to change system components dynamically - based upon the inputs from the network. What this means is that we will have cars that communicate with the roads using GPS technologies - so that the cars can actually drive themselves. We would also be able to locate somebody precisely whevever they are - and be able to communicate to them easily.
The widespread distribution and availability of very small sensors, likesized actuators, and embedded microprocessors is transforming the physical world into just one global computing platform. Distributed sensor networks that combine physical sensing capabilities such as temperature, light, or seismic sensors with networking and computation capabilities will soon become ubiquitous (everywhere and always on). Applications for distributed sensor networks range from environmental control to warehouse inventory control to all sorts of health care applications - to a myriad of scientific and military scenarios. Imagine a world where a person's every move is tracked and stored into a computer. This is one of the eventual endpoints of a sophisticated distributed sensor network.
For now, existing sensor networks aren't quite that sophisticated. On the primitive side - sensors are preprogrammed to send data to a central frontend where the data is aggregated and stored for offline querying and analysis.
Technology will soon be totally immersed within our environment. As new information about distributed sensor networks becomes available - whether it be news, articles, or commentary information in our upcoming blog - this information will be added to this website.
