Problems in Distributed Signal Processing in Wireless Sensor Networks

TinyOS is an operating system designed for wireless embedded sensor network which supports the component based development language called Nesc. Wireless sensor network are becoming increasingly popular and are being used in various applications including surveillance applications related to object tracking. Wireless sensor devices called motes can generate an event in the network whenever there is some object moving in its vicinity. This paper aims to develop an application which detects the path information of object moving in the sensor field by capturing the order of events occurs in the network.
