Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (eBook)

Houda Labiod received a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France in 1998. From 1999 to 2000, she worked as an assistant researcher at Eurecom Institute in Sophia-Antipolis (France) in the Mobile Communications Unit. Since September 2000, she is an associate professor at ENST (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications) in the INFRES (Computer Science and Network) department. She is an author of a book titled "De Wi-Fi à Bluetooth" (Hermès Editions, 2004). Her main research interests include optimization of mobile and wireless networking and mobile ad hoc networks (unicast routing, multicast routing, security, QoS routing).

"This book will provide a very useful reference on the
architectural aspects of ad-hoc sensor networks to both students
and practioners working in the area." (Computing Reviews,

"What makes this book worth reading from cover to cover is the
successful juxtaposition of state-of-the-art descriptions and
concrete research projects related to wireless ad hoc and sensor
networks. While many aspects of the study of wireless ad hoc sensor
networks are still in flux, the book succeeds in presenting 'a
global, realistic, and critical vision of the evolution of
spontaneous and autonomous network.' Thus, the book is long on
solid scientific research and short on speculation." (Computing
