The article discusses the hardware and software that go into creating wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Topics include the hardware characteristics of smart wireless sensor devices, wireless communications stacks, sensing stacks, middleware services, the operating system, and software application. WSNs have current and potential applications in energy, medicine, military applications, and agriculture. WSNs can be attached to the Internet, and future developments may see WSN data available via Internet search engines.
