Abstract
Pervasive micro-sensing and actuation may revolutionize the way in which we understand and manage complex physical systems: from airplane wings to complex ecosystems. The capabilities for detailed physical monitoring and manipulation offer enormous op- portunities for almost every scientific discipline, and it w ill alter the feasible granularity of engineering. We identify opportunities and challenges for distributed sig- nal processing in networks of these sensing elements and investi- gate some of the architectural challenges posed by systems that are massively distributed, physically-coupled, wirelessly n etworked, and energy limited.Keywords
