Data Management And Wireless Transport For Large Scale Sensor Networks, Ming Li Sep 2010

Data Management And Wireless Transport For Large Scale Sensor Networks, Ming Li

Open Access Dissertations

Today many large scale sensor networks have emerged, which span many different sensing applications. Each of these sensor networks often consists of millions of sensors collecting data and supports thousands of users with diverse data needs. Between users and wireless sensors there are often a group of powerful servers that collect and process data from sensors and answer users' requests. To build such a large scale sensor network, we have to answer two fundamental research problems: i) what data to transmit from sensors to servers? ii) how to transmit the data over wireless links? Wireless sensors often can not transmit …


Energy-Efficient Data Management In Wireless Sensor Networks, Chunyu Ai Jul 2010

Energy-Efficient Data Management In Wireless Sensor Networks, Chunyu Ai

Computer Science Dissertations

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are deployed widely for various applications. A variety of useful data are generated by these deployments. Since WSNs have limited resources and unreliable communication links, traditional data management techniques are not suitable. Therefore, designing effective data management techniques for WSNs becomes important. In this dissertation, we address three key issues of data management in WSNs. For data collection, a scheme of making some nodes sleep and estimating their values according to the other active nodes’ readings has been proved energy-efficient. For the purpose of improving the precision of estimation, we propose two powerful estimation models, Data …


Bay Audio Repair Website & Data Management Application, Michael Shelley Mar 2010

Bay Audio Repair Website & Data Management Application, Michael Shelley

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The goal of this senior project was to build a website and software application to receive and manage audio equipment repair requests for a small startup company called Bay Audio Repair (BAR). Furthermore, it allowed me to gain experience in web development and software engineering practices, specifically requirements gathering, design and implementation. The website provides an online interface for BAR’s customers to request repairs and the application allows BAR employees to update the progress of a repair. Several technologies were used in the system’s construction: HTML, XML, PHP, and C#.
