Abstract
Civil infrastructures are critical to national economy and public safety. Monitoring civil infrastructures is crucial in improving their lifetime and robustness. In conventional civil infrastructure monitoring systems, individual sensors are hard wired to the data acquisition system, which is costly. I will describe a collaborative project between the LONGLAB and ATLSS Center at Lehigh University on applying wireless hybrid sensor networks and systems to civil infrastructure monitoring. The first part of the talk will focus on the issue of robust routing in wireless sensor networks. The second part will focus on middleware for adaptive collaborations across heterogeneous environments.
