ABSTRACT:
A sensor is a device which detects a physical change in the environment in the form of energy and reports this physical change (energy) in another form of energy. An actuator is a device which accepts the energy and produces movement. In the future, sensors will enable a large variety of new services in different domains. Important application areas are service adaptations in fixed and mobile environments, ambient assisted living, home automation, traffic management, as well as management of smart grids. All these applications will share a common property, the usage of networked sensors and actuators.
