With the advances of sensing technology, sensors today are capable of sensing, communicating, self-scheduling, data processing, and moving from one place to another. Sensors have become an important part of our daily life. For example, sensors are used to secure important infrastructure, monitor the traffic, and protect our borders. However, wireless networks that can be formed from such sensors still face many challenges due to sensor limitations in energy, memory, computation power, and sensing reliability. In addition, hot spots in the monitored field may require sensors with special characteristics. Moreover, the required monitoring time may vary from one application to another; keeping this network alive during the monitoring time poses another challenge. In this book, we address the deployment of mobile heterogeneous sensors in fields with hot spots for a specific period of time. The book looks into the realistic sensor deployment parameters and formally defines the deployment problems. Moreover, it explores some of the current solutions to the problem.
