A Survey of Sensor Network Applications

In the past few years, many wireless sensor networks had been deployed, these applications serve to explore the requirements, constraints and guidelines for general sensor network architecture design. In this paper,we present a snapshot of the recent deployed sensor network applications and identify the research challenges associated with such applications.
