Wireless Smart Sensors Networks, systems, trends and its impact in environmental monitoring

Wireless Smart Sensor Networks (WSSN) offers a new paradigm regards to the way that the traditional monitoring systems have been designed, all this happens due to the impactgenerating by technology in society. The deployment of Information and Communication Technologies or ICT allow us now rely with small devices that are able to integrate into a “simple element” the potential of computing, communication and monitoring systems and from here starts to move to these minidevices, the ability of intelligence that ensure the deployment of new systems focused in environmental monitoring. In this paper we present a survey of technologies employed to wireless smart sensor networks, their management systems as well as their trends and finally we presents the design and implementation of an application for monitoring environmental variables using the WSSN and virtual instrumentation on Smartphone.
