Abstract: Research on wireless sensor networks has been ongoing for more than 15 years. As a result, an enormous number of novel ideas have been proposed in academic and industrial research since then. These comprise the design of new hardware components, novel communication and processing regimes, and the realization of systems that would have been unimaginable before wireless sensor networks came into existence. The resulting application areas are broad, ranging from deployments of a few low-cost sensor nodes to the installation of large numbers of highly specialized sensing systems. In this paper, we summarize wireless sensor network application trends and point out future directions and emerging novel application domains that bear high research potential.
