Architecture optimization for wireless sensor networks

Wireless networks allow monitoring systems to be made non-invasive. This is required when solving the problem of monitoring cultural heritage and is also very convenient on other civil structures such as bridges and buildings. This paper reflects the authors' efforts toward the optimization of the architecture of a wireless sensor network for civil engineering applications.
