Security-oriented sensor placement in intelligent buildings

Sensor Networks Challenges for Intelligent Buildings

Sensor networks will play a fundamental role in future intelligent buildings. There are two basic areas that we envision this technology having a critical impact; these are energy conservation and security. Most of the power consumption in most countries is done inside buildings. Furthermore, the largest consumers of energy are the richest, most developed countries, and the proportion of energy...

Sensor Placement for Urban Homeland Security Applications

We simulated a sensor network that detects and tracks the release of harmful airborne contaminants in an urban environment. The simulation determines sensor placement in that environment. The effort required integration of models from computational fluid dynamics (CFDs), combinatorial optimization, and population mobility dynamics. These CFD models, coupled with population mobility models, faci...

An Indoor Contaminant Sensor Placement Toolbox for Critical Infrastructure Buildings

Intelligent Buildings

The emergence of intelligent buildings is founded on the rapid development of microcomputer and internet technology as well as the advance of information and communication technology. With the help of these technologies, office affairs have shifted from the traditional pattern of labor intense and large volume to the flexible, diverse, efficient, user-friendly, and highly reliable operations. M...
