Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks
无线传感反应网络综述

Sensor and actor network, which is extended from sensor network, is a novel technology about acquiring and processing information. In this paper, the architecture and characteristics of sensor and actor networks are briefly introduced. Then combining with the existing work, sensor-actor and actor-actor coordination problems are discussed, and research challenges and requirements in communication protocols occurring due to the presence of actors are explored in the design and development of sensor/actor network protocols.
