Contamination warning systems (CWS) are strategies to lessen the effects of contamination in water distribution systems by delivering early indication of events. A critical component of CWS, online quality monitoring, involves a network of sensors that assess water quality and alert an operator of contamination. Utilities developing these monitoring systems are faced with the decision of what l...

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become one of the current technologies in the world of information technology. Coverage and connectivity are the main requirement that reflects the performance and quality of services in WSN applications. In WSN applications with a large scale area, the sensor nodes are deployed randomly in a noninvasive way. The deployment process will cause some issues such a...

The manufacturing sector is experiencing a transformation to Industry 4.0. authors are researching 3D printable sensors measure operating conditions like wear, strain and temperature, as part of project develop large-scale multi-material extrusion printer print Gravity Separation Spiral—a piece mining equipment that separates minerals from slurry. This paper proposes sensor placement methodolog...

Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs), a novel technique in industry control, can greatly reduce the cost of measurement and control and improve productive efficiency. Different from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in non-industrial applications, the communication reliability of IWSNs has to be guaranteed as the real-time field data need to be transmitted to the control system through IWS...

Recent technological advances have facilitated the widespread use of wireless sensor networks in many applications. In real life situations we have to cover or monitor a lot of points/places on plane. Sensor’s range is proportional to their cost, as high cost sensors have higher ranges. In this paper the authors developed a new algorithm for sensor placement for target location with cost minimi...
