The series “Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing” contains publications
on theory, applications, and design methods of Intelligent Systems and Intelligent
Computing. Virtually all disciplines such as engineering, natural sciences, computer
and information science, ICT, economics, business, e-commerce, environment,
healthcare, life science are covered. The list of topics spans all the areas of modern
intelligent systems and computing such as: computational intelligence, soft comput-
ing including neural networks, fuzzy systems, evolutionary computing and the fusion
of these paradigms, social intelligence, ambient intelligence, computational neuro-
science, artificial life, virtual worlds and society, cognitive science and systems,
Perception and Vision, DNA and immune based systems, self-organizing and
adaptive systems, e-Learning and teaching, human-centered and human-centric
computing, recommender systems, intelligent control, robotics and mechatronics
including human-machine teaming, knowledge-based paradigms, learning para-
digms, machine ethics, intelligent data analysis, knowledge management, intelligent
agents, intelligent decision making and support, intelligent network security, trust
management, interactive entertainment, Web intelligence and multimedia.
The publications within “Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing” are
primarily proceedings of important conferences, symposia and congresses. They
cover significant recent developments in the field, both of a foundational and
applicable character. An important characteristic feature of the series is the short
publication time and world-wide distribution. This permits a rapid and broad
dissemination of research results.

Preface
Wireless sensor networks are being used in several kinds of applications varying
from the health care, military, home, monitoring and industry. The prime objective
of this book is to explore the current areas of research and challenges to be faced by
different researchers. So, it can help the increasing number of scientists who depend
upon sensor networks in some way. The book is organized into five parts, each part
including chapters exploring a specific group of topics. The first part of the books
covers the topics related to algorithms, protocols, communication strategies and
data aggregation in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The second part of the book
is composed of topics related to energy conservation and management in WSNs.
The third section of the book includes the chapters related to security and QoS in
WSNs. Some of the useful applications of WSNs are covered in section four.
Finally, the advancements on wireless sensor networks are included in section five.
Book contains total 33 chapters.
The main readers of this book are expected to include the scientists, scholars and
researchers in the field of computer science engineering and communication
engineering; along with this, it is going to be very useful for the UG and PG
students who are studying the wireless sensor networks as an elective or core
course. Specialists, as well as student readers will find all the articles encouraging
and helpful for their projects.
The main objective of this edited book is to concentrate on all aspects of current
and future research directions related to the wireless sensor networks. Number of
novel techniques that lead to future improvements in the area of wireless sensor
networks are also included.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the reviewers for providing the
constructive feedback for the improvement of the quality of chapters. We also
acknowledge the several authors who have contributed their chapter in this edited
book. We are thankful to Dr. Thomas Ditzinger, Editorial Director, Interdisciplinary
and Applied Sciences, Engineering, Springer, for his constructive comments for the
